I think this should be built in. I found Paul M's Members who visited today hack to be a must on my forums.
I have to admit also it's an addon I applied to all my vbulletin sites. I would give this the thumbsup but with XenForo having the whos_online to the side it's going to be difficult to apply this and have it looking acceptable without huge amounts of index page wasted. Whilst the whos_online (Xenforo) is at it's current placement it'll be counter productive the whos_online would have to sit near the footer with the layout of the whos online displayed horizontally.
My suggestion is that it would replace the whos_online box... So busier boards would have whos_online... Smaller boards would have online_24hours generally both would take up the same space.
And I think this should be set via the Admin CP
This could really be better as an addon as the main goal of the software is have a streamlined product with a nice plugin system so us users can add the "debatable" features like this instead of doing it like vBulletin and having on/off options in the admincp which really ads bloat and another if/else condition to run.
I never found it useful as much as just a way to brag about active members to the competitors.
I would much prefer to see the guest visit system, with more emphasis on the registration rate of guests, and tracking for guest trends (I'd be interested in the member visit feature if it included some form of trend tracking), otherwise I view it as worthless overhead.
This is one of the most popular add-ons on vb.org, which would be great if it was included. People like to see if their friends read the forums on the day they visit. Of course this would be better of for smaller forums, I'm guessing, with not thousands of visitors.
