Hi

I have one question.
What about if a thread was viewed by let´s say 150 members do I see the whole list of 150 members above the thread then?

Wouldn´t it be better to have the who viewed as a link wich opens a popup list.

Greetings

Well technically that's how WOL works as well, so this is like that. If there are lots of people, then yes it will show the whole list, but it's not like every thread will be like that (hopefully) If there are lots of people who want this feature added then I could do that.

BTW trying to use the htl file to install the hack on RC4 and get the following error:

No Phrases file found in Hack data or file system!
No groupname specified.

running the verbose test it showed this info:

This step would import a new set of phrases for the Hack

It would create this new column on the language table:
phrasegroup_

It would take the new phrases from this file:
./htlfiles/whoviewed_phrases

may i suggest another method?

just put it into a collapsable table, that way it wouldn't fill up to much space if not wanted
