[GUI change] Show users viewing thread.

[Dynamics]

Well, I've been in other forums before, but FiestaFan is probably the only forum I've ever been happy to post in.

However, the one thing that bugs me is that while FiestaFan shows the users that are online on the frontpage (along with their current activities in their profiles), FiestaFan doesn't show you who's viewing a particular thread. For those that don't understand, whenever you view a particular thread, you don't know who is viewing it with you. Other forums show you this statistic, and it is usually at the bottom of the page of each thread. While it may be a small tiff to some, I personally would like to know exactly who is viewing which thread, particularly my own. It's just strange that FiestaFan will tell you how many people are viewing each discussion board (the value in brackets), but there's no real way to know which thread they're viewing without invading their profiles.

I'd just like to hear some responses about this change, and get some feedback about whether it's a good idea. While some may not like the invasion of privacy, I'll remind you that there is the ability to appear "invisible" to other users already implemented. So I don't believe privacy should be an issue at all, it's just more about how informed users want to be when rummaging through the forum threads.
