Am I missing something?

[SCPD]

Up until very recently, you could go to the bottom of a particular thread and see how many members and guests were viewing a particular thread at any given moment in time. I just noticed that this feature has disappeared (at least on the few threads I've reviewed this evening).

Was this intentional?

I must admit, I used this feature in the past to see if a particular member I was having a heated debate with, was viewing my latest post. Perhaps this is why this feature has gone away?

You're not wrong. I don't see it now either. And I'm quite certain I had, because I remember saying "well, that's handy"...

See here please

You are both correct, I no longer see it either. I have no explanation and I know of no staff discussion in reference to this.

See here please

I understand about the long list of users, but that's for all threads. I'm talking about an individual thread where it might say "total number of users viewing this thread 7," and then say something like "members 2 visitors 5" and then give you the names of the members who are viewing that single thread.

I agree that a long list of member names at the bottom of the forums page is useless, but I do like this function for the individual threads.

I also noticed that the blue square that indicated threads you participated in (right side of the topic area) is now gone as well.

Another missing item

There was a small box (menu list) at the bottom right of each thread that allowed the user to transition back to a forum page. It is also missing. It was there earlier this week.

Yep, I didn't notice that either, but the JumpTo box is gone.

"Blue Square"?? Maybe it was my browser, but there was a check mark saying if you had participated in a thread and yes, that is also gone now.

As Ron indicated above, the long list of names of on-line folks was removed from the main forum index page a couple of weeks back, but these other changes seem to be very recent.

Our forums have become very busy, and those little features actually comprise of some very expensive queries which causes server load issues during busy times.

I disabled them a few weeks ago to prevent those items from bogging down the server.
