For privacy issues, it might be cool to have an option where only the # of users who have read the thread is displayed

Interesting idea, might consider that for the future.

I disagree .
It is more useful for administrators to see the thread viewer with their ip addresses! specially use this hack for moderator forum or private threads.

(Although the idea of creating this hack doesn't mean for this work. but it is now can be more useful.)

Any chance to fix the problem with TMS? :o

Is the upgrade required for 3.8?

I have find a solution.

If you are using TMS, enable the option "Auto-Template Changes : Who Read This Thread" and add the variable "$wrtdata" to the template "SHOWTHREAD" at the position where the table should be shown.

when i upgraded from the 3.7 version of this mod. all of the sudden stopped working. i have checked that the users viewing thread is turned on and that my usergroup is allowed. i have this mod to be displayed on all the forums also and yet it still does not show up. i have uninstalled and then reinstalled and still doesnt work. any help would be greatly appreciated.

As above, I have just upgraded my forum to 3.8 and although the old version of this hack was still working I upgraded to this version and now it has stopped working.

I have tried to un-install the hack and then re-install it. I then put in the user group privileges

but still this does not work.

I checked the users browsing settings and these are also correct.

You must have the correct template hook in your showthread template (it was only added in the 3.8.0 gold release) - if you are using a customised template either copy the hooks over, or revert it.

what is the hook called? because it doesnt seem to show on my default style at all
