A nice little feature. Looks good to me!

Edit: Oh if theres loads of names then I guess it could be annoying :(

I think it will count invisible people viewing the thread but you won't be able to see exactly which invisible person unless you can see invisible people by your perms.

Sammeth.
26-08-2012, 06:12 PM
The fact that it puts two commas between each name makes me want to punch people. And it looks like it doesn't include people taking advantage of the invisible feature so thats all good.

Don't see the harm in this at all. Even if it does get mahoosive it's out the way. You only have to scroll down that far if you genuinely want to look at it so it won't be a nuisance.

If it's not that, probably just pure curiosity. The "post Areas" function isn't really necessary either, but it's a nice addition and quite interesting. If it is down to users wanting to get sour at people who have looked but not replied at their thread... seems a bit silly and uptight xD.

Mhm probably, some people simply are like that :P

I think it should just be restricted to staff forums now tbh, because they;re useful for the R+R threads. Some people don't reply, so it offers managers the "security" of knowing who has/hasn't bothered looking.

Seems the feature is liked but the majority want it to be limited. I've been looking in what ways it can be limited and it would be nice to know which one you think is the better option:

A) Only the thread creator can see it on the threads they have created.

B) Limit it to Announcements & Staff Forums but is disabled elsewhere.

C) All threads but only users with VIP can see it.

D) Other - If this option please explain in the thread on what you would like to see in terms of "Limited".

I know it's a long shot but someone's said to me in the past 'i saw you reading that thread you stalker', (and before you say anything it was INTENDED to be rude i SWEARRRR ;)), so that's where my cynicism is coming from.

Seems the feature is liked but the majority want it to be limited. I've been looking in what ways it can be limited and it would be nice to know which one you think is the better option:

A) Only the thread creator can see it on the threads they have created.

B) Limit it to Announcements & Staff Forums but is disabled elsewhere.

C) All threads but only users with VIP can see it.

D) Other - If this option please explain in the thread on what you would like to see in terms of "Limited".

Only B.

Why is that not valid? Surely if people want to know the information on who has read a thread or their own thread then that's valid. It's just like the online list - It's purely to show information to the user.

I haven't checked yet but is there a way to disable this plugin from tracking which threads I view without me having to enable invisible mode?

(edit: Also is this plugin firing off an additional sql query each time it's run, or is it using a cached query. I'm only asking because for really large threads like PAPOY (if it's still around), if it's running additional queries it's going to slow down loading the page).

I don't think it's a plugin. There's no way to disable it other than invisible mode. Either way I expect it's quite query heavy as it has a separate list for every person depending on when they first got the feature, first got access to the thread etc.

If a user is in "Invisible" mode then obviously it wouldn't show - Hence why it isn't a bug. That would defeat the point of the invisible mode feature.

The option that is most likely going to go into practise is the one for limiting it the the thread starter only. VIP's aren't the only people who are allowed to create threads so we are not limiting this to VIP's.

A) Only the thread creator can see it on the threads they have created. - No limits to no one as anyone can create a thread.

Judging by the amount of people online and the amount of posts, I can comfortably say that the majority of people lurk and view threads rather than posting and creating them.

Both very negative. You shouldn't have that mentality. You should give people, regardless of what users they are (lurkers, active, pointless repliers) as many features as possible. Are you more likely to buy a car that has lots of features that you find useful or a basic model?

Both very negative. You shouldn't have that mentality. You should give people, regardless of what users they are (lurkers, active, pointless repliers) as many features as possible. Are you more likely to buy a car that has lots of features that you find useful or a basic model?

To be honest, I highly doubt a guest viewing the forum will join just because they can see who has viewed every thread.

The difference is that you're not buying anything. Creating threads is an ability that every normal member has.


Depends if you can afford it or not to be honest. But you don't spend any money to be able to create threads on this forum.
Sherlock! Not every member creates threads. Why would you want to take it away from certain members? It makes little sense.

Correct because guests won't be able to see either way. However, a new member is more likely to stay with the have optimum features.

In that case, would you not argue that all new members should have all the VIP Features? Personally I don't think it's a valid point, it makes sense for only the thread poster to see who views the thread, just like reputation.

Giving to the thread creator also makes sure of that. If they want it that much then they would post to see it on their threads.

Can you really not see a situation where someone viewing the thread who isn't the OP wants to see who viewed the thread.

I agree and disagree to a certain extent. While I agree that we need to be as open as possible (ie not using those 'you have viewed your maximum number of threads, please register) there is also great value in holding features back. Isn't that the psychology behind a rewards, reputation, post system in the first place? If members place value in these things, they will strive to accomplish those tasks that will arrive at the intended outcome. Everyone strives for something out of their reach (if what is out of their reach they deem to be valuable). In that sense therefore it makes sense to say 'hang on you need to work for x, y and z. This feature is not going to be handed to you. Be active in our community and you will be rewarded.'

As someone who voted against having this removed, I would not be against limiting it to VIP/donators based on the lack of accessibility to new users if that then makes new users strive for that reward. For example, I like VIP because I like knowing who's repped me. That's it. The only feature I like so if it vanished or everyone had it, I wouldn't really care if I didn't have it and therefore I would probably contribute less to the community by either not entering comps where VIP is won or not buying donator that helps contribute to the site's funds.

Despite all that, there is perhaps a simpler argument you can go for and that's that the poll now actually says the majority want it to stay non-limited (and yes I know it probably wasn't when the post was made, this wasn't an attack on those voting for a limited system) but it seems the poll has swung in a different direction and what's the point of having a poll if you aren't going to listen to it.

Let us just say that unlike most on here I'm not a pseudo-intellectual. If someone is going to call me an idiot, I'm going to disagree and say why :)

Well reasoned post. I can see what you're saying and that is the main argument against to what I believe would be best. Your argument certainly holds merit though. Although, if its just thread starters, which it appears it might be then this discussion is pointless anyway :P

What a surprise someone who has been here for years can't see another perspective.

Well that isn't what I said at all, I simply told you that if you had a differing opinion it would be best to actually state it rather than just complain. If I'd said HOW DARE YOU SUGGEST THAT THERE ARE OTHER WAYS TO DO THINGS then your response here would be valid, but since what I actually did was open the floor for you to express yourself I'd say that what really occurred was the complete opposite of not being able to see from another perspective.

Besides, my favoured options were A and B (more so B), which absolutely everyone has access to, and my preference is based on it not being a necessary feature rather than trying to be superior as you later suggest.

I don't mind it too much, I don't really think it has much of a useful application (apart from validating whether a member has seen a thread or something).

It might annoy those who have started threads seeking feedback or replies, where the thread is empty/bare yet there's evidence a ton of people have read it. That's the only way I see it being counter-productive at times.

I was under the impression that the first option was for OP's. Let me re-read the thread...

Ah, I first read the thread at the wrong time, Matt posted three options in relation to what 'Limited' meant (Option C), but I thought the first option in terms of what Option C meant, was the first option on the poll, so I voted for the wrong thing.

So every member can see who has read every thread? Bleh.
