1. If you enclose that variable in a box.
2. If you use formatted usernames with their profile links.
3. Show the last time when they read it. (It uses a jscript to display the time in a tool tip)
4. Show guests, invisible users aswell (obviously their numbers)
5. Show how many times that thread read before.

Take them as suggestions please dear exdiogene, as I know that you are good and quick coder, and definitely find a solution for this. Other then that its quite usefull plugin. Keep up the great job !

1. Yes indeed it would look better.
2. It could be done, while i do not really see the necessity for the hundreds that could appear here on the long run.
3. Sorry, but first i am absolutely against using javascript in my plugins unless ABSOLUTELY necessary, for security and access reasons. Second this could be done without javascript.
4. How would you manage to find out the REAL number of guests who have looked at a thread? The same guest could look at the same thread dozens of time with different IPs each time. This value won't be accurate enough.
5. The total of members having read the thread is quite easy to show, i already had the intention to include this with the new setting i had in mind.

I had the intention to include another feature for this next week,it was already in my ToDo list: "Having a maximum number of names to be displayed."

For forums having thousands of registered members this list could grow quite large, so administrators could manage how many they want to have displayed. Only that many of the latest readers would be displayed.

Keep in mind that this was the quick result of a plugin request...
