Hey Dan, I was just wondering, how hard would it be to set up a logged in list that is visible at the top of the forum index page? I've seen it on other message boards (the one that comes to mind is dyestat) and I was just curious how much work it would take to do on this board. It would be nice to see who was prowling around the board even if they weren't posting at the time.

It would actually be quite easy, seeing as how it is a standard component of this forum software. Smile I actually removed it, as I generally prefer when forums do not show that sort of thing. Seems to reflect poorly on the more frequent participants (in a twisted sort of way), which is the opposite of what you would want to have happen...

Also, at the time I made that decision for this particular forum, participation was low enough that I figured it wouldn't look good to advertise that no one is online. Neutral

Still, if enough people are in favor of adding it back in, I would be happy to do so. Thoughts?

Doesn't matter to me. If you wanted to give it a trial run it might be something we like and if we don't it can always be removed.

That's an option, I suppose.

Others???

Could do as a trial ... I don't think we would think negatively of each other by being here ... LOL ... And might be nice to know when someone was there if you had a question in mind ...

Wow, its Sunday night and I'm all alone here, with no one to talk to. Sad

See, there's the downside... Unless you have hundreds of highly regular participants, the odds of more than 1 or 2 people being online at the same time are pretty slim. Seems more of a detterant to posting if you know no one is around than the flip side is an incentive...
