Updating frequently isnt a problem. It's updated on a per viewer basis. when a viewer refreshes the page, it displays the current view stats. takes a matter or milliseconds to generate.


And most boards (I can only recall IP.Board off the top of my head, but I think VB has a similar implementation) have a premade plugin for that. it isn't a problem.

Worked just fine
I've actually never seen that option on a forum, only "users viewing this section" of the forum. It's nice to know it's plausible.

I assume the moderators can see who flagged, and I would be willing to bet it's Rakim.

all reports contain the username of the reporter, or so claims the warning in the report form

ATTENTION: Abusing the reporting system will result in forum suspension or your account being banned. Make sure to review the MacInsiders Code Of Conduct carefully before reporting a post as breaking our forum rules. Your username will be included with this report.

although I'm not sure it's Rakim, as he came onto the chat with the sole purpose of blaming it on me. now that I look at things, I find it odd that you can report yourself... does anyone else think this is odd?

Several forums I used to frequent had the ability to see who was online and what they were looking at thread wise. A stalkers paradise ^_^

Quick question: if your post gets flagged, do you also see it as flagged, or it just everyone else that can?

You also see it flagged. If somebody reports it, nobody can see it, quote it, like it, etc.
