got a couple suggestions, not really important but just makes things easier - first is a box at the bottom of topics to show how many/who are viewing it like on Vip2

And the second is for a proper date for posts, like instead of saying '1 week ago or 14 hours ago' it would say posted on 20-2-2008 at 22:34

Takes up server load, when we change we may look at doing that if the server can handle it.

Its just preference really, just i though it would be more accurate, and when threads eventually say '_ years ago' it will be bare confusing

I prefer the ___ days ago, but maybe there is a way so users can choose.

We can choose between it saying:

Posted 15mins ago/1hr ago/1day ago
or

We can't have both sadly. I think what we have is good, except for after 1week it goes a bit shit lol.
People need to vote on which. We just picked one lol.

We turned off the people who are viewing each page cause it decreased server load a small amount. Also it just feels like your being stalked :P

Really and truly though, the user activity page does the exact same thing, just its only one page

Yeah but that would just of been a bad look turning that one off too, although on the first server when it was getting overloaded it seemed tempting lol. We minimised server load there by just having the names in a random order instead of alphabetic, which would cause a greater load on the server. But we don't really need to worry so much anymore.

We are definitly open to ideas though. Soooo. We can turn on and change all those things if there is enough demand.

May need to run a poll or something in main room on which people want the post times to show up as. And if enough ppl want the users viewing each page/post list

Probably the best option, safe for atleast considering it though
