I only just noticed this little box at the bottom that shows who's taken a look at the current thread.

Neat. Is it new?

I first noticed it yesterday. I wasn't sure if it was new or because I just became a mod.

That'll come in handy. Do other than mods see it?

I'm not sure of when it was introduced, but I've been seeing it for months. It's one of the things that helped me hunt for spambots during the spambot crisis.

OK, now I'm on the list of members who have read this thread.

I have a slight feeling it may be a mod-only thing. The only way I'll be proven right (or wrong) is if someone who is a regular member posts here.

Can confirm, mod only.

Lady Vulpix

Oh! Weird. Thanks for the confirmation. I wonder why it's like that.

Knight of Time

Maybe Kevin implemented it? That's the only thing I can think of.

But nonetheless, yes Drusilla, thanks for confirming my hunch.

Pokemaster Ash has also viewed this thread but has not replied.

Strange, I can see the list of members who have read this thread

Knight of Time

This is wayyy weird...darktyranitar can see who read this thread, yet Drusilla cannot. :confused:

This just doesn't make any sense.

Fett One

Could it be a level thing? Darktryanitar has a higher level than Drusilla. Of course that wouldn't explain the rest of us just noticing.

As far as I know, levels don't do anything other than add Pokeballs under your name.

Wasn't dt a mod at some point in time?

If so, then it could explain the discrepancy.

I just checked, yes he was. He modded Fanfic (am I right, darktyranitar?).

In fact, I have a funny feeling that anyone who was a moderator would be able to see who read the thread.

Try refreshing the page (or go back to it). You should be able to see yourself there (IIRC, you were a moderator here at one point, right?).

Oh, there I am!

Yes, I was once upon a time. I was the first elected mod *flips hair* can't remember if I got dethroned for inactivity or what

Yeap, modded fanfic ages ago haha
Seems like ex mods do get to view those stats huh. Wonder what's up with that

Magmar

Might as well leave it visible to everyone. Almost everyone is a mod or ex-mod at this point.

Lady Vulpix

That's both funny and sad. I checked the usergroup settings. I didn't see any group for former mods, but I have enabled the viewers list for all registered users. I think Dru should be able to see it now.

I can still see him at the beginning of the list.

I meant TPMers are able to be like kids forever. We never forget our childhood dreams.


I only appear before nice people

By the way, my User Biography has read for over 18 years 'A legendary Snow Dragon said to appear to doomed people lost in icy Finland'.

I can now see it. Huzzah!

I feel left out, I've never been a mod here. I was on Shazza's spinoff board for a bit. My childhood dream of being a TPM mod never came true.

Tbh I do wonder if the mods actually do talk in their own subforums lol. Are y'all hoarding activity from us? Lol

All the fun stuff is happening in the public forums, or on Discord.

If it makes you feel any better, I was banned from that board and it was the worst thing that could have happened to a 13-year-old.

I can think of far worse things.

Apparently, it doesn't show who saw the tread before the upgrade. My '[GAME] My Pokemon Wins Yours!' has only DragoKnight, Knight of Time, Fett One, Mikachu Yukitatsu, while it should also have names like DarkestLight and Blademaster.

I hate to bump the topic, however, I just noticed the number of members who have read the thread got reset somehow (it's currently showing me as the only member who read the thread). Methinks a bug may have done this, as it has affected most topics other than the more recent ones. It seems rather tricky to pinpoint when this bug happened, though.

Drusilla

Looks like it did get reset, but I can now see it?

Lady Vulpix

I don't know what happened. Maybe some index in the database broke or something.
