Since it's checking every thread in your database to see who viewed it,then displaying it in the actual thread, and if you have lots of threads and members, well you have a problem.
It can make the thread table bigger depending on how many users view how many threads. Nonetheless, I'll write it

make sure you put a disclaimer on it... reminds me of cigarettes
i think it could be done with a seperate table, then you can reduce the users where can use this option (e.g. admins,mods or usergroups) then i think it's not the problem, or is it?
Released. Yes, a separate table might have been better, but it's still going to add performance and size problems. The one I just released uses three queries maximum but tries to save them when possible.
wouldn't it have been easier and less queries if you just created a column with the username and not the userid so you won't have to make another query to fetch the username of the userid?
