Curiosity regarding who's viewing (1 Viewer)

[pbaldy]

It seems odd to me that given all the space available, the tool will only show 2 user names. Is that a setting that can be changed? Looks like up to 10 could fit on that line.

 

[Jon]

That's odd, I don't think I've seen it cut-off like that.

 

[pbaldy]

It does seem odd given the size of the box that appears devoted to that feature. I've noticed a few times, it's happening on this thread now.

This is what I can see currently for this thread

Another thread with 4 viewing shows all 4...

Where I do see the effect Paul mentioned is where multiple likes are given to the same post. Only a few names ae shown (and N others) but there is space for many more. For example

Jon, maybe it's a setting? I see

 

[pbaldy]

I wonder if this is hiding some of the users:

 

[Jon]

This is the only setting I can see that might affect that figure:

It's in my admin panel in the back-end.

 

[Jon]

I've just changed it to 0. Has that fixed it?

 

[isladogs]

Unfortunately not on the post I showed

Who wants their Thanks counts added to Likes?

Some of you wanted me to import the Thanks counts and convert into Likes. Who wants theirs imported? Just click Like on this post and I will transfer them for you. Notice what I did there? Sneaky! I figure 1 Thank > 1 Like, so I propose 1 Thank = 3 Likes, fair deal? Likes are a bit more...

What do you see there now? I see this:

@Jon
Not sure who you are asking. On this thread I now see this

For info I have both options unticked on privacy options but clearly you can see what I'm viewing anyway

 

[Jon]

I see this:

 

[Jon]

I've found a setting! Let me change a few of the user groups and let me know if anything improves!

 

[Jon]

Any better now?

 

[isladogs]

Nope. Currently 5 viewing. I see 3 names plus … and 2 others.
What do you see on the likes on your first post in the Thanks & Likes thread I mentioned?

 

[Jon]

This:

But that is built into the software, while the Users Viewing stats are a third-party addon.

Maybe some of the settings I just changed are cached and only get updated when some cron jobs run.

Or, Post #6 on this thread might be the answer. Probably the most likely answer.

 

[isladogs]

OK but you obviously still know all who liked that post as you responded to each request.

 

[Jon]

Yes, you just click the link and all members appear. The setting @pbaldy showed was a privacy option for all who are *currently* watching a thread.

 

[pbaldy]

I'm currently seeing this, and there's nothing clickable in the "and 2 more" that would expand the list (the 2 is highlighted because I was clicking all over the place).

 

[Jon]

When I said click the link, I am referring to showing the extra Likes. The "2 more" might have their privacy settings set as indicated in your Post #6, and hence you cannot see their names. Does that make sense?
