This tracks the number of members that have visited the forum each day, and displays a list in the same manner as the Members Who Have Visited Today display. However, this also tracks a lot more data, such as the script (and request variables) run on their last visit, and all threads and forums visited.
Options / Features
* The script that the member is running is logged (e.g. showthread, usercp etc).
* The request variables in use are logged (e.g. threadid, userid etc).
* The member visits table can be cleaned of old records to help control it's size.
* Member Views data collection - tracking each members viewing of the forum index page, forums and threads.
* Member Views data collection can be separately disabled.
* Multiple member visits to the same page are logged separately.
* Clicking on the main display icon will list the recent visits by all members (if allowed).
* Clicking on a member in the main display will show that members viewing data (if enabled, and you have permission).
* Clicking on the "Total members that have visited" line will list all members who have visited and their last action.
* Usergroup permissions are done with the standard vbulleten usergroup permissions system.
Four new usergroup permissions are provided in the usergroup manager.
* Can View the Members Visited Display - Members can view the members visited display on Forumhome.
* Can View Member IP Addresses - Members can see the ip addresses of visiting members.
* Can View Member Visits List - Members can view the list of member visits page.
* Can View Member Tracking Data - Members can view the individual member visit tracking page.
* All (non usergroup) modification settings are in vBulletin Options > Member Tracking.
To install;
Unzip the XML files.
Upload the bitfields file to your ../includes/xml folder.
Import the product into vBulletin using the ACP Product Manager.
Set your required permissions in the usergroup manager.
Note that by default no permissions are given, you must set them.
Note: You must enable the [core] Visiting Members display, this mod hooks into that display, it does not duplicate the display for itself.

Paul I was thinking of installing this, If I had it only show for myself, and if I ran it on a busy site, would that be alright? or would this hack be too intensive for a big board?
It runs happily on my site, which is quite busy. The overhead on this is quite small (nothing like the CMS for example )
You need to be a little more specific about your problem.
Sorry about that, it was late for me... Disregard... I thought when you clicked on the usernames it would produce the "List of Members" page but it doesn't it just reloads the forumhome page. I have found that I need to click on the icon next to "Total members that have visited the forum today" to view the list.

Excellent, thanks Paul. Though theres a blank options category in my "Site Options" menu in acp, kinda weird. It's not this mods config menu though, which is another item.
I would like to know which mysql database tables are beeing created upon installing.
And is there an easy way to manually clear the databases... or maybe even single entries ? Because I would like to track only a few users and delete all other records.
