Oprano has this feature. GFY should too
 

On Oprano you can see which members are online. This would be a great feature for GFY to have also.

What do you think?

It would probably slow down how quickly gfy loads, and on top of that I'm sure it would show hundreds of people online at once at any given time.

YNOT originated the "who's online" feature in the adult internet back in the mid-late 90s. We've taken it offline after our latest relaunch but plan to reinstate it soon.

it's inaccurate at best for two reasons:

1. Lots of people have opted to keep their status invisible, so they wouldn't show up in the list anyway.

2. Lots of people keep this window open all day, and check it periodically as they work. So even if the list said they were online, it doesn't always mean they are reading at that moment.

The list is way too long, we looked at it.

Scroll to the bottom of this.

hahaha

That's a lot of stoners online.

:)

Id be curious to how GFY compared to these stats. One of the busiest boards on the net.

Currently Active Users (1,112):467 members, 643 guests, and 2 web robots. 2,455 members have logged in today.

That's some nice stats

How about thread preview, where you hold your mouse over the thread title and a box with the first few lines of text from the post shows up. I've seen this on a few other forums.

haha, damn that's a lot of stoners:) maybe thier all stoned and forgot they have a browser opened :smokin

Good point. I do that too. Probably most people here do the same thing.

So it would show probably 500+ names. That would be too much and pointless.

Holy shit!

:1orglaugh

Yup, they're probably not even at their computers anymore...

Prob. in the Kitchen fixing up some snacks or something.

OMG! That site is unreal. Bet the DEA would love that members database.

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Wonder if they take banner ads?

That's just begging for an affiliate program. I wonder how much volume he does?

He's got everykind of weed imagineable. Too damn funny.

Are selling just the seeds illegal in the US??

hahahaha that's exactly what they are doing!!!

Oprano also has that feature known as 'Serge the goat fucker' lets get that on GFY too :thumbsup

Simple solution... if the list is too long..

pull the $loggedinusers out of forumhome completely, and just add link to online.php?s=

or

pull $activeusers out of forumhome_loggedinusers which will leave you with minimal stats and a link to online.php

or

leave it the way it is, it doesn't really matter.

Just flag the last post time and/or last post viewed for everyone that is online -- not difficult to code.

Would be a nice 3rd party addition possibly to sell to other boards.

Not as far as I'm aware. I don't think it's legal in Canada either, just tolerated. Marc Emery from BC has a nice little operation going. Get's :thumbsup :thumbsup from me.

why bother? it's a built in feature.
it's just disabled.

see.

Amp is right... it is just a waste of loading time and bandwidth.

No you don't get it -- if you can adjust the list to only show the people that posted in the last 10 minutes, 5 minutes, etc... then the list will be much shorter and actually useful -- it would reflect who is really online -- not who is in the kitchen eating donuts.

then reduce the cookie timeout.

Good idea.

i don't get weed at all. i get paranoid as fuck but i do enjoy laughing till my stomach splits.

it made jason vs. freddy at least watchable...

Aside from the hours of 3 am - 6:45 am PST Id be online ALL THE FUCKING TIME

hahaha

Ynot originated it?
I thought most scripts had this feature by default, even way back then.

Is there anything that Ynot doesn't claim origination of?

Two things I'd really like to see, and don't think it would slow down the board, are:
1. Last post by (in the thread listing view, shows who made the most recent post in each thread) and
2. The ability to 'bookmark' certain threads or pop them into a 'favorites' folder/table in our profile.

The 'last post' is a standard board option (see Oprano to see what it looks like), and I believe the bookmark feature was an add-on module but might be standard in the latest release. Not sure.

Who wants to look at a list of GFY grunts who post non-stop all day and say nothing? Just look at your buddy list. It shows you those who are online.

There are features I like about all the different board software, but my favorite is GFY. YNOT's board needs lots of help. It is very limited. I don't want my name showing up as being online. That is why many use a second name. They can come and go and not post, but they can read the board and remain private.
