This is a completely new version, based on the idea of my "Display who recently read a thread" hack.
It has a few differences that some people may prefer to the other system. However, those differences may not suit everyone so both versions will continue to be available. Note however that they both have the same product id, it is not possible (or sensible !) to use both at the same time. You can upgrade Version 2 to Version 3 simply by importing the new product with overwrite set to 'yes'.
This version uses it's own table and does not rely on the database thread marking system being active, this also means that old data is not lost when the display limit is passed. The problem of people not being recorded when reading old threads is also removed.
The hack is a vb product and is installed in the normal manner via the product manager - the installation does a small amount of processing so be patient.
Hovering over a name in the displayed list will show when the member last visited the thread, and (optionally) what IP address they last visited it from.
There are settings for the following (in vBulletin Options - Thread Display Options) ;
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.
Note: When using option 4, the data is still kept beyond this limit, so it can be changed at any time.
History:
v3.12 : First Release. v3.13 : Minor changes, no update necessary.

Paul - looks an interesting hack, have you any plans to allow it to be restricted to just certain forums?
This would be great. It would be cool just to have this installed on my Staff forums, so when someone posts something I want to know who read it and who didnt.
If this is not going to be included in a future release, I dont mind either, but it would be great!
great hack... not sure if someone posted this, but after install hack, it starts who has read from that point, not previous....*installed*....it should be a default setting...

That's not entirely true. If you have the database thread marking system turned on it copies the data from that when installed.
No idea really, if it got to 1000 then theres no reason it should not get to 2349 - maybe your connection to the server was lost. Just close the page and login to your acp again, it may have installed okay (those dots are a local thing vb put in, they don't rely on a server connection).
Sorry, I can't help you without an admin login, something in your threadread table is breaking a pretty simple record copy operation and I really can't imagine what. Does the product show as installed when you re-login ? if so then you should be able to just import it again - and this would bypass the copy code.
I've read this post through and through and I just can't seem to get this working to where it doesn't show double who has read this thread...
On my default template it shows once (who has viewed the thread) when I go to the child template it shows twice. any suggestions??? I've searched both showthread templates and I do not see anything that duplicates. I've even reverted them and it still shows twice???
Help! ..lol
What Template is created that shows this??? SHOWTHREAD didn't seem to be changed at all or I can't find where it is changed atleast???
