Exactly. Just rework the current template if you don't like it, throw a lin kni the navbar called "Spy" and you're done.

i think that's a great start. you'd then have to group the threads they're reading and rank them and then number how many members are doing what. since online.php is already pulling the info, there shouldn't be more server load right?

I created a forum spy using sajax. It caches the results every 10 seconds using crontab (for better performance, instead of running a query for each user viewing the page).

I am NOT a vb coder though, and would not know how to set this up for a release. If an experenced VB coder wants to work with me I'll gladly set something up for a release.

Here is a VERY basic rough draft:

This is hardly my peak time, check back in the evening hours to see it in action.

What a fantastic piece of work this he has done.

digitalpoint is keeping the source code unique to his forum.

digitalpoint clearly is very good coder.

I also think that on a quiet forum drop the refresh period down to about 3 mins it would hog too much server load.

Fab coding digitalpoint you genius!

Has anyone tried this using AJAX?

I've been toying with it. I have a completely separate online environment setup that I've been working and testing with, it hasn't been easy, at least for me with all the calls and div's to deal with but I am making progress when I find the time to work on it. If I have something before anyone else does, I'll post it up.
