As of 23 Nov 2017 this modification has been withdrawn.
This adds the following enhancements to the vB core Who has read a Thread feature.
1. Option to turn on the who read cutoff date (reset) function
2. Restrict use of reset function to certain usergroups.
3. Clicking on a user will display a page of their thread viewing history, most recent first.
4. Restrict the list of reader names to certain usergroups.
5. Restrict the list of recent threads a member has read to certain usergroups.
The set/reset facility allows members to click on the 'set' link which then sets a personal 'cutoff' time - only showing who has read the thread after that time.
The time can be reset as many times wanted, and also completely cleared again.
There is also a link to allow you to view a seperate list of all readers of the thread, this is where the ip will be shown [if you have permission].
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.
Note: When using the set/reset facility, the data is still kept beyond this limit, so they can be changed at any time.
All settings are located in vBulletin Options > Thread Reader Enhancements
To install, download the zip, extract the XML file and import using the vb Product Manager.

The old mod put the users who have read the thread in alphabetical order. Is that possible now? It's a bit difficult looking for a particular member to see if they've read the thread when there are a lot of users in the list when they're all in a random order.
Have you actually turned on the [built in] Who has Read a Thread in 4.2 ?
Yes, I have - we found it in the options. But nevertheless, it doesn't work !
Well, we have so many problems with 4.2, we deceided so set it up completely new again today.
Lets see if the problem occurs again. In any case, I will give you a feedback asap.
We had to many problems with 4.2, espacially regarding the customer login (as I remember my programer said, some language ID's of older versions does not fit with 4.2 - ... sth like that he said, forgot the exact explanation)
Thank you for the update. I have installed it but I cannot see the list of the users who visited the thread since only showing "who has read the thread : 39" Also there is no expand/collapse option on the blockhead. Please let me know how to do it.
