Timestamp for When User Views Profile - Tyr - Oct 8, 2025
Just curious if this would be something you'd consider adding or if it makes things too bloated. What are your thoughts on having a small text area next to the recent visitor area on user profiles that shows who the last visitor was to that profile for upgraded accounts with a time stamp?

Could be interesting... I could see this being useful for figuring out why someone clicked your profile (maybe), based on timestamp and if you were chatting at the time, etc.
I don't know if this is a huge priority but am assuming that the data probably already exists and maybe just needs a display.
What is the main benefit here?

I know it probably sounds like it does not offer much use, but profile-view analytics could have latent business intelligence value, especially for members who sell services or digital products on the forum. If a seller can correlate who viewed their profile, when, and what threads they were active in at the time, that can uncover buyer intent or competitive interest patterns.

I agree with these reasons, for sure.
And the new HF API from @ventura@ could put that to good use I imagine.
I really have nothing to add here... Visitor analytics on ecommerce is something I made a lot of money focusing on. It makes sense! Good idea

Done.
Hover over the avatar you'll see "USERNAME visited: timestamp" now.

Looks good but shows false timestamp for most visited users.

I'll work on that. I think I know the problem.

Interesting add, once it is working properly should be interesting to see how often Jamika stalks my life.
RE: Timestamp for When User Views Profile - Omniscient - Oct 9, 2025
Time should be fixed now. Had one of the switches wrong for my_date().
Also, I could potentially expand this feature so that on Analytics you could see a better list of recent visitors. Because I know hover isn't supported well on mobile.
RE: Timestamp for When User Views Profile - Jamika - Oct 10, 2025
Nice suggestions ngl man
Glad too omni will make this more suitable for mobile

Still seems to not be working.
IE) I show a profile was viewed November 13th when we are still in October
https://hackforums.net/member.php?action=profile&uid=5588118 -- Check BVs last view
Shows I visited your profile on Jan 28th @ 1:35 PM Omniscient and that was just now.
Is there something I am missing here?
RE: Timestamp for When User Views Profile - Tyr - Oct 14, 2025
Great stuff Omni. Was looking clean and working when I last checked par the scale being a tad large. Sometimes it will populate and show and other times it won't.
RE: Timestamp for When User Views Profile - Omniscient - Oct 15, 2025
Okay, used some vibe coding to fix it. Looking correct now.
