Hm, can someone explain an old man why this "option" would be needed?
<- Knows only the standard "on" or "off" setting (no matter the forum script used), and got along with it over the years, so dont see any sense why to restrict it per group.
Its nothing serious or security issue to see whos reading a thread.
No offense.
Thanks.

Well, only EvanAbagail can say why it was requested, but I could speculate that some people just feel it's a privacy thing (maybe you don't want someone knowing which threads you read on a forum), or it could be an issue with performance since it probably takes some resources to calculate that.

Its not going to get any better performance since it will run the query if they can see it or not. I'm doing an If Else Statements if they have the permissions $show['value'] will equal true else false.

I might rewrite it so it will not run the query unless their in the usergroup that can view.

1.0.2 has better performance it will not run a query for user viewing forum or thread if they don't have the usergroup permissions

As aferomentioned, I want to be able to restrict the information to administrative / moderator usergroups. I do not wish regular / standard members to be able to see such information.
