Thanks. After the latest bug fix upgrade the add-on is working after installing the Redis Cache along (v2.3.0). Thanks a lot.

A simple to use and highly functional add-on. It definitely doesn't deserve 1 star and that's why I wanted to write this review.

Best add-on to see activity on our forums and in threads. Makes the forum feel more lively and respects users privacy settings.

Great addon to show user activity across your forum/portal. Great permission-additions in version 2.12 and now also supports activity display on reports list: This can help to prevent more than one staff member working on the same report at a time. No performance issues with Redis Cache.
And all that for free. :-)

Great addon other than the guest view counts being greatly under-reported. Unfortunate. With dozens of guests viewing a thread consistently over a few days, as could be clearly seen in the "Current visitors" list, the reported guest count of this addon for the thread never broke 10. Again, other than that, great addon.

This add-on counts guests by grouping requests by IP address in a ~15 minute window, XenForo counts guests by session. Both are valid ways of counting what is a "guest" visitor.

The numbers are a bit off for example if I went into a forum and then test it as a guest user on another browser it will say 3 Viewing instead of 2.

Besides this very neat add on!

By default, thread views count to the forum views. Tracking which threads or direct forum views continued to the forum counts isn't possible, so may not match expected values.

Additionally, thread/forum views are tracked in 15 minute windows and do not live-update as these values change. Any view counts should be considered an estimate.

This one was an essential feature in the old vB forums. It was nice to see and to know who was watching right now a thread. People who are used to this in vB forums will miss it in XF forums. But not anymore, thanks to Xon. Thank you.

Thank you for this free XF2 version, I used the RainDD version for XF1 before. Xon is one of the most trustworthy XF developers, all his addons can be installed blindly, as everyone knows: it will work and it is safe.
