Forum Updated & Who Visited a Topic Feature

Post by Ice » Mon Jul 11, 2011 12:54 pm

I just updated the forums to the most recent version today. If you see any bugs or problems, let me know.

Also, what do people think of the "Who Visited a Topic" feature? It records those who visited at the bottom of the page for that specific topic. Only members can see this.

What's the point? I personally don't see the need for it.

It's nice to see if anyone has looked at your topic if you posted in the B/S/T forum

I'd say this is the best benefit of it. People should keep in mind that if a user doesn't sign in to view other topics that don't require a log in, then those "hits" probably are low. So for BST and Sales/Deals this feature works better.

Looking at the "Views" of a post will tell you if anyone has looked at your topic, include those "anonymous" visits. The only real benefit that the Who Visited feature gives you over that is telling you who had a vague interest in your post.

Personally, I think it annoying (I don't think my sarcasm came through in my previous post), and have found myself skipping a lot more topics because of it.

It's funny that only 18 people have visited this topic. I guess the title says it all.

I just want to track how many people are viewing the BN coupon thread. It will be removed when the coupon is gone. ;)
