How can we make this happen?

I would like it to show at the top of the thread and not at the end.

Thanks for this great hack

You can't, it's not designed to be moved, it attaches to the list of thread viewers.

thanks
great mod

Paul, how's this hack doing, in term of using system resources?
should it uses a lot of queries, memory?

It runs one update query when you read a thread, and one select for the display (so basically two queries per thread). The resource use of those queries is small as the table is indexed.

The table can grow, especially on a busy forum, for example, we have been running this for six months now, and the table now has 450,000 rows (we have 47,000 threads, 500+ members visit per day). Again, as it's indexed this is not really a big deal, nevertheless, the next update will have a cron job to remove entries over a certain age (12 months by default).

Taking one of our busiest threads, the update takes 0.00046 seconds, the select takes 0.02508 seconds.

Looks nice. Paul, will this work with 3.5.4? I am new this so sorry if I am missing where it says which versions.. Thanks

This version is for vb 3.6.

Thank you, kind sir. Just the bees knees. Have clicked as requested.

Biggles :cool:

Version 3.28 uploaded tonight - this has a number of new facilities ;

* Option to allow a thread author to view who has read their thread.

* A new personal set/reset facility - allows a member to set a personal 'cutoff' time - only showing who has read a thread after that time.

* A cron job to (optionally) delete whoread records over a certain age.

More detals are in the main post.

To upgrade simply download the new (zipped) product file and import it in the normal manner.

Updated* Thanx!
