It could be in the center, to the right of the section title. It would also show up when someone is reading a thread in the section. Support?

I think what he means is more like how the 1.x branch displayed an equivalent of the "3 users online: blackhole89, speedreemix, Trelior | 6 guests | 7 bots" line for each subforum.

I don't see how this would have any logical use at all, really.

Last view: 3223 days 		I added this to my private copy of AB2 a couple of years ago. I don't think that I completely finished it. Here is the code FWIW:

fonlineusers.phps (I originally had this inline, but it falsely triggered the anti table breaking check.)

This is meant to be called from pageheader() right before the final table end tag is printed. It appears I intended it to be called even on a page that does not pertain to a specific forum. In that case, it would reset the user's lastforum column and suppress output.

If you are that desperate for attention you should just stick to F5ing on online users.

It's a nice idea, I've seen it on a lot of forums. I could easily see it on the bar where the online users are displayed when you're looking at the index. That said, though, it's not really needed or anything, and the thing Arbe linked to shows everything you'd need. Anything not there would be in online.php

I'll carefully consider working in Cellar Dweller's code once I manage to get a little bit more spare time forked off.

(I'm not sure how well this would work out without producing an inadequate sense of bloat.)

Thanks for everyone's input on the subject matter.
