In a persons profile. You could have a bar that said: 'Currently Browsing: (Insert board here)'.

It might have been suggested before, I don't know. But ive been trying to suggest this for weeks, and have always forgotten before I had the chance to post. XD

I concur.
Most forums have it, it'd be a nice feature.

What are you talking about? At the bottom of the index page, there's a feature like this. You just have to click "Who is online." Here is a direct link to the page. I use this all the time, when I'm curious as to what other members are doing. It doesn't mention specific topics, but gives you a general idea.

They mean more specifically to know what topic. It would be good to know whether or not you can expect a post on a topic or if you have more time before they reply.

Instead of adding it as a field on the profile, why not just expand the current one we have, and have it list topics?

Eh?! I wish I knew about that before! Thanks, Renae. You can also look at the bottom of a topic and see who's looking at it. I don't really mind if this isn't added or not because of what we already have.

I knew about the bottom of the page on a board showing who is browsing, but not about what Renae posted. Thanks!


But yeah, I thought about it saying which topic.

...This thing knows too much.

Anyhow, I like this idea. It could tell me where people are so I know whom to stalk. I know where people are.

But then there should be the option to not let people know where you are, while not being "hidden." I think.
this post now makes little sense because I am a hidden ninja and you will never find me

But you could also check their posts so you could see their most recent one, so you'll know where they were at last.

What was the point of bumping this?

As said before, there's a button at the bottom of the index page which shows this information.

But not topics, and I like this idea. I roleplay a lot, and I like to know when I can expect a post... I have a lot of RPs on hand and I need to know which ones are being browsed by users. I think it's a great idea.

The reason I made this in the first place was primarily because I was an RPer, but even though I don't really anymore... I still think upgrading it to 'topics' would be useful.

In other words, what Loudclaw said.
