Visitors looking for an answer could then see if anyone is actually viewing the thread they are looking for answers on. It would also be nice if you could PM someone labeled as here from a Who's Here bar. Of course, if that were the case then it would stink to have to give up your email address. At which point it would make more sense to have an internal pm function. This would cause more people to sign up as well to the site. I'm not sure if membership is your goal. Just some thoughts that you'll likely squish do to the work and server load involved. 🙂

If there was a way to optimize the code so it would show who is browsing what forum that MIGHT be helpful, but many of the users jump in and out of forums too often for it to make a huge difference.
Not to mention that many of the people here that ARE a wealth of information are just users--the people that need questions answered wouldn't know what user would really know something or would just give them a flippant answer.
I think it would be cool, but it ...
