As of 24 Nov 2017 this modification has been withdrawn.
This adds a simple display of all members who have visited the forum - either today (i.e. since the users midnight) or in the last 24 hours.
Note: it is not possible for this hack to count guests.
The main features of the 3.8 version are as follows ;
1. It displays the list on the Forum Home.
2. The list view is collapsable, so you just see the number.
3. Invisible users are only displayed to those allowed to see them (with a "*")
4. Users who should display as coloured or bold etc will be displayed correctly (based on the display usergroup).
5. If you 'hover' over a username it will show the time they were last active.
6. The list is in member name order.
7. The ability to turn it on/off is in the ACP Options.
8. The ability to allow only certain usergroups to view the list is an ACP option (include or exclude groups).
9. An option to record and display the Most Ever Members can be enabled.
10. The switch between Visited Today and Rolling 24 Hours is an ACP option.
11. The listing of members can be suppressed (a simple message is displayed instead).
12. The list of names can be set to be always collapsed on initial view.
(Options are in vBulletin Options > Who has visited today)
To install just unzip the XML and import into vB using the ACP Product Manager.

As I already wrote, I had problems editing posts. I received a maxloggedin error message, when guest tracking mod was active. I contacted another user, who installed your member tracking mod and had the same error. He said that he "solved" it by commenting out
in members who have visited plugin, but he doesn' t know why the problem occured.
I did the same and I don' t seem to receive the error message any more. But since there must be good reason for adding the code, I wanted to ask, if this is a harmless work around for our problem or if we need to find a better solution.
Edit: Correction, I still received the error. Now I commented it out in the guest tracking plugin.
Edit2: Commenting it out in guest tracking makes the most users ever online count (members and guests) and "most guests online over 24 hours" count not working correctly. The values do not get stored any more, so that it always displays the current count with the current time. I use the original code again.
Sorry but you need to be more specific than "does not work" since it works fine for me.
Doesn't work as doesn't show up on the forum index page, no data, no table, nothing it's as if I didn't even install it.
Could because I'm running 3.8 beta 1 dunno, either way I just want back to 3.7 version of this mod and it's working fine. I'll wait until vB 3.8 goes final and then try this version again.
