    On some vbulletin installations i frequent, at the top of each thread it informs one who is viewing the thread..............would/could this be a possible implementation for Boards? Tis a good idea....

    T'would be easily implemented from what I can tell.

    It would be one of the better add-ons imo.

    + 1 It's getting a bit of a hammering as it is.. another lookup is something it doesn't need.

    I'm pretty sure it used be a feature, but was turned off a couple of years back when they were investigating the source of the legendary slow-down.

    I thought that too.

    I really like the idea, but if I had to choose between that feature and a faster loading website, I'd go for the faster loading website.
