I actually tried to do this yesterday, too. Anyone have any experience with this?
I basically want to show everyone currently logged into the forum, just like $activeusers on the front page-- but on every page of the forums.
If you want it showing on everypage.. :
This add the Who's Online bar below the navbar This hack is definetly not recommmended for busy forums as it adds two queries to everypage, and a long list of names at the top of the page would look messy also..
in INDEX.PHP find and REMOVE:
