Show Thread Enhancements - Who has read a Thread

This modification is no longer available or supported.

This displays who has read a thread, and the time they last looked at it.

Hovering over a name will show when the member last viewed the thread, and (optionally) what IP address they viewed it from (Note: as of v3.34 you can only view the ip addresses in the 'View-All' display).

There is now an option to allow a thread author to view who has read their thread when they are not in one of the allowed usergroups. The IP and number of days restrictions still apply.

A new time set/reset facility has been added. Members allowed to use this facility can click on the 'set' link and it will set a personal 'cutoff' time - only showing who has read the thread after that time. The time can be reset as many times as you want, and also completely cleared again. When using this facility there is also a link to allow you to view a seperate list of all readers of the thread.

A cron job has now been added that can (optionally) delete records from the whoread table that are over a certain age - this is provided for large forums where the number of table entries can start to reach a million or more after 12 months. The delete age is a setting in the ACP.

Warning: When using the set/reset option - there is only a limited capacity of entries per thread (several thousand) - therefore you should only allow this feature to be used by a limited number of people - typically Staff usergroups. Allowing all members to use it will probably slow down your forum and cause errors if more than about 3000 members set a date on one thread.


There are settings for the following (in vBulletin Options > Who Has Read a Thread) ;

1. Turn the system on/off.
2. Restrict the display to certain usergroups
3. Restrict the IP display to certain usergroups.
4. Restrict the display to a set number of days.

New in v3.28

5. Option to allow thread author to view who read information.
6. Option to turn on the who read cutoff date (reset) function
7. Restrict use of reset function to certain usergroups.
8. Option to set whoread data records to be cleaned out after xxx days.

New in v3.39

9. Clicking on a user will display a page of their thread viewing history, most recent first.


Note: When using option 4 or the set/reset facility, the data is still kept beyond this limit, so they can be changed at any time.

Wait for the 3.7 version.

this is a great mod! I have installed it and love it already... and it's only been on my forum for like 5 minutes!

[periphrastic]

great mod, thank you for sharing

for some reason, i'm getting users showing up as having viewed threads in the moderator lounge (non mods aren't allowed) - i've double checked the permissions page, and they're denied access (registered users) - yet, a few non mod members are showing up as having read threads in mod lounge. any advisement / potential inaccuracies that might arise with this mod?

thanks again

[Paul M]

I suggest you check your permissions very carefully, there is no way they can show as having read a thread unless they actually have (are you sure those threads have not been moved there from somewhere else ?).

[periphrastic]

thank you paul m for helping

and, yes i am certain (a) permissions are correct and (b) threads have not been moved. i specifically double-checked the permissions settings to make certain the error wasn't on my end

when i log on as a "registered user" using a dummy account, i cannot see the mod lounge at all. these users who are shown as having read the mod lounge threads are in the "registered users" primary usergroup. this makes so little sense to me. i'd agree with you in that, if they're not reading the threads, their names, ideally, should not show up as having read them. i'm just having trouble reconciling the fact they have no access to the mod lounge (as proven by the permission settings / dummy account test) with the fact that their names are showing up as having read threads in the mod lounge. this mod seems as impeccable as impeccable can get, but i'm concerned because now i don't know if there's some issue on the permissions end, somehow, or if there's some issue on this mod's end.

Is there a fix for the 'Fatal error: Allowed memory overload' on big boards? Maybe pagination for big logs.
