Hi

I am loving it finding new features in vB3.5.0. ;)

Who Posted? Popup

Just now noticed this new facility in forumdisplay. What is the utility of this feature to an end-user? Wouldn't a popup list of persons "Who have already read the thread" much more useful to a end-user as that would indicate to a member as to who have already read the thread and then he can direct a query to one of those persons.

Can't wait for the stable version!!! :D

Best Regards

Actually, that should be a 3.0.x feature, tracking who read the thread would be much more resource intensive.

It was originally one of Kier's hacks, when he still had the ice cream as his avatar, as I recall.
