Bring back "Members who are viewing this thread"

I'm not sure if I'm the only one who wants this feature returned to the forum but I've only just noticed that you can no longer see who is browsing the same thread as you. I'd like to see it returned if possible.
Eh, seems kinda useless if no one before now has missed it do we really want it back?

Someone already asked about this and Omni said he changed it due to mobile issues or something like that, and that he probably wont be bringing it back.

That's true, it was useless but it's a small feature that myself really enjoyed and if it could do that to other members too then why not bring it back.
I would also like to see this back. I found it extremely useful when I used to sell my VPN on HF. I'd reach out to customers viewing the thread occasionally and most of the time I'd be able to win them as a customer that I wouldn't have otherwise had.

Little things like this make a big difference for market place sellers who utilize them.

Oh I see, thanks for clearing that up for me.

I wish it was back, as well.

This is one of the features I actively used, to find the quality of members who are browsing my threads, to also see which kind of traffic my threads target.

I would usually click the members and check their posts, so I can learn more about advertisement techniques.

Bring it back!

Another good idea from a small but useful feature that we had for a long time on the forum.

I remember whenever a large event or dramatic thread was posted watching the viewing list grow larger and larger every refresh.
I also would really like to see this feature back.

Nowadays? I'm just here for the nostalgia.

This works the same for competitors trying to poach your customers.

I kind of prefer it without in the marketplace.
Slightly off topic, but I'm not sure if it's a userscript I have installed or just the way it is.

But on Desktop I never see "Who's online" on the home page. But on Mobile I do
There is still a way to view who is viewing your thread. Mr. Robot made a thread about it somewhere
It was removed due to mobile optimization if I'm not mistaken so it probably won't be back.
Staff member 10th Jan 2017 - 30th May 2020.
HF Administrator 30th May 2020 - 14th July 2022.

It was a blast being on staff. I stepped down as it's time for me to move on. I wish you all the best and if you were hit by my warnings and/or bans, it was nothing personal.

Peace out!

I know X is putting in some good work, I wonder if this could be an option to have on the deskop version of the site only? Hopefully.
If it comes back it has to be disabled for mobile view. It pushed the content down too much imho. You don't want to visit a page and scroll too far to see content.
