If you look at someone's profile page, you can see what they're viewing, so I guess I don't see how its any different. If you go to the users online list you can see What people are doing. No disrespect intended, but what exactly is the difference given this? :o

I think if "stalkery" is what you're worried about then the fact that being able to see what each specific person is doing rather than seeing in the forum / thread is what you should be worried about. That seems more stalkery to me. XD Seeing who's viewing a thread is more like, stalking your own thread in a sense. Its like "OH THEY SEE IT I UOPE THEY POST o W o "
