i hope there is no hack that do the job... sorry, but this would be a real overload of data, for no real uses.

FirstClass system was one of the first BBS to archive the entire activity over the board, and this was a real pain to archive and backup because of the quantity of logs...

imagine a board of 5000 users, with 10000 threads... each thread would have a backup of the 5000 users when visited, and this would make two queries per visit just to record or verify if the user is in the bank...

I think one query would be enough, as the check if a user has already visted could be done via a join when querying the thread so it would not need an extra query.

Edit: I should have read the request carefully ;)
To display the users and not just check if the viewing user has visited 1-2 queries would be necessary.

I have a small community of about 100 members and only arround 25 visits a day, so the quiery it's pretty small.

You may thinks such a hack would be useless, but for me it would make sense to get all users displayed that have visited a thread.

Maybe its possible for just the board admin to display the useres visited the thread - in the end just I as the admin would need the info.

Sorry for bad english, but it's not my mother-tongue.
