It was working not too long ago.....is it just me, or is everyone unable to view??

I can see who's online still but I can't see where everyone is on PC anymore, like before you just click on "curently active users" and it gives you the list of people online and where they are, which was nice that way if you post a thread you can see if anyone is replying to it or if you send anyone a message you can see if they are reading it or replying. But I still see who is online.

Sorry for the confusion, we have recently disabled this feature. We have been tweaking certain setting's.

That is what I'm referring to...seeing what everyone online is looking at.

Thanks...I just wanted to make sure it wasn't only me!

Will it go back up, so we can use it?

I like to look to see where everyone is at... so it there is a conversation going on somewhere I can join in?

Thats invasion of privacy..LOL
I don't see the importance of seeing what others are viewing, what am I missing here?
Many times I am viewing my own threads to see how badly I spelt, also I am not real good with words, so I read my own words to learn how to improve.
To me it doesn't matter whom is reading what, only that they are here being apart of the team.
That little tool should only be available to Mods & Admins, it causes more problems than its worth, it fuels (judgement)....not good.
Someone needs to explain why it is important (or needed) that all members can see where I am at on the board, and what I am looking at, how does this help the forum? and or help me the member you feel a need to keep track of?
Not Good...at all!
There's enough judgements made just by reading Post's, after all we do live in a world of "who can you trust", I can tell who walks with me just by who responds to my threads and who don't, I don't use that little tool offered to watch others and what they do...frankly.....its not my buisness, as I cruise down the posts and respond to threads I feel interesting and or I maybe of help, when I get to the bottom I do check and see whos online.
I apologize, but I simply don't understand why members feel a need to know where I am and what I am looking at...how does this help the forum, how does this help your decission to post, or not to post?
This ones over my head?, help me to understand.....PLEASE.

It's not about looking to find out where YOU are, or an invasion of privacy, imho.

I'm not requesting it to spy on others either. As a matter of fact, I"m not requesting it at all, I just know is that feature WAS here, and now it's not, so I asked.

I use it so when I send a PM to a friend I've known for years........ I can see if they're reading it.

Don't take it personal, I was just asking a question.

No No No, I am not taking it personal, I am just curious.
Everyone is different and I do pray we all get along, I am here for the animals actually, I enjoy people, I rely on there help, BIG TIME, without friendship Dani, I am lost, I am not afraid to admit that.
I send out an e-mail, or maybe an IM, I don't understand the need to know they are reading it, I usually know they got the message when they reply...and or get the hint....when they don't reply...LOL
Its hard to tell exactly how one feels about another in the world of black and white, if not for those little LOL's and funny little Icons, many times I would think folks HATE me.
I just don't see a need for folks to see where I am at, what I am reading...I don't understand how this helps anyone, Many times I send e-mails, I receive a message that it was delivered okay, but I don't know why it would be important to know that that person is reading my e-mail and when they read it.....this would only say to me..."oh, you got my E-mail, you read it, but you didn't answer, Fine, if thats the way your going to be".
I am sorry Dani, I mean no disrespect, I would say no to that little "know where your at, know what your reading option", a good example is "you thought I was taking this subject Personal", I am sorry you misunderstood, I was voicing my opinion and asking for opinions, nothing personal about it!
Peace.

JMO now and it would be the same if I was a regular member.

I totally agree with Arty's view. I always thought it was an invasion of privacy. My vote (if the Hosts want all of our input) is to leave it disabled for regular members. I can understand Hosts & even Mods needing to use it as a tool to keep the Board running smoothly.

Just an aside...don't feel strongly about the feature & respect folk's right to be comfortable. It is interesting where we all set boundaries. I have no issues with folks knowing where I am on the board, but felt like I was in a fishbowl yesterday when my neighbors were having their pool dug and there were a dozen people eating lunch on the fenceline and looking (I know they weren't actually, but felt that way) into my living room.
