I have notice on rare occasions that the currently logged in users are listed at the bottom of the forum list page. I even saw my name once. Is this something that can be enabled or just sometime works and then doesn't work. It would be nice to know who is reading the list at any one time. It might generate more activity on the forums if we see who's one first ( old abbot and costello joke).

That's user-controlled behavior, if they've ticked off
"Allow other users to see when I am logged in" under "Edit My Privacy Options".
It appears to be enabled by default. Our forum software may be flaky about it though.

One thing I want to implement is having user location posted under the user name for posts. I'll look into it after the server move.

Sebastien - I do have that "allow users to see me" enabled. I have had it the start. It seems that the forum software might be a bit flaky about this issue.
