    Forum "member's also viewing" functionality

    One of the more annoying problems I've found with the Our Umbraco forum is when member's simultaneous respond to a topic. Well, usually this annoys other members when I get there first ;-p

    A way around this could be to have a small panel listing who else is viewing the same topic. i.e. "Member's also viewing this topic"

    For example, if I noticed that dandrayne was also viewing a new topic about an XSLT problem, I'm pretty sure he'll be answering it ... so I'd hold off until I saw his reply ... and then respond accordingly (or not, because he's most likely solved it!)

    Code-wise... is there anything we can do with the "CachedMembers()" method (hashtable)?

    umbraco.cms.businesslogic.member.Member.CachedMembers()

    Any thoughts?

    Thanks, Lee.

    I would advice against this. If you see me viewing a topic, you'll simply write your own answer in order to beat me to it!

    On a slightly more serious note: Good idea!

    Seems like a good idea to me, but it does speak well of the forum that this is even an issue in the first place ;-)

    How would it work if e.g. I had multiple tabs open?  Not being a c# dev I have no idea how this would be implemented

    Re: multiple tabs ... unless it was AJAX'd up, it would probably just display who was viewing at page-load.

    Probably need to speak to Morton (or other uForum devs) to see how this could be integrated.
