Power Kite Forum

Forum feature I really miss

cheezycheese - 23-7-2015 at 05:02 AM

A couple of years ago when the forum software was updated we lost one of my favorite features. We used to be able to see who was online with you, who was reading the same thread etc.... The screen names used to appear at the top of the screen. Now that's gone... :( I have been meaning to post about this since it happened. Is there any way that can be brought back. It was kinda cool to know who was sharing the moment with you. I never log off, my computer (desktop pc at the time) stayed on 24hrs a day. I would often refresh my screen to see who was 'hanging out' on PKF. Kinda like stopping by the bar... ;) or stalking now that I think about it... :lol:

Not seeing the who's reading what thread currently, but "Who's online is at the bottom of the home page.

Currently it's:
bigE123, cheezycheese, chris, indigo_wolf, RedSky, ssayre

Cheezy - I'm new to PKF this year so I never saw this feature. I did successfully contact the PKF administrator once via U2U to get something done. Maybe try sending "PKF" a U2U, because who knows if he or she will read this thread? Just FYI, communication was a little slow with a couple of days going by without my outbound messages getting read, but it worked.

Sam I almost never visit that page, so I never saw that . But it used to beat the top of today's posts as well.

It's all good Bob... but as I mentioned earlier, I never logged off. So it looked as though I was always on 24hrs a day... :D

FWIW, I seem to spend most of my online time here.

cheezycheese - 23-7-2015 at 05:07 PM

@ Riff - all that used to be at the top of any page you were viewing.
