    Hi Mike,

    To be very honest, we do it to prevent our competitors from monitoring our member activity levels.

    Sorry to bring back this but it really does annoy me not to be able to see when people are on. Mainly the admins and moderators (staff in this case)

    Is there anyway that you can just show admins and moderators as being online? I don't understand how competitors can use any of the Who Is Online information for their advantage anyway......

    maybe turning it on only for (paying) members is a good idea?

    Yeah i agree with DutchBB it is helpful for customers to become aware of others online, and staff members too when awaiting support for their questions.

    I'm slightly confused... All the staff here have their Online lights showing in threads, and there are so very few threads a staff member hasn't posted in...

    You don't *need* Who's Online to see who is online...just read a few threads.

    Or am I just special?

    I also want it to see if someone is viewing my thread.. like Juan or another staff member, when I have a support question

    Like right now, at 3:00AM it would be nice to see if Juan has even viewed my question on CRR for my abadvanced page so I can either fix it or reset it to the old one so that people can still get to the correct page and not the current error message.
