We certainly need this, for me and for a lot of other people it is essential to have the amount of users viewing certain forum.
This helps the admin keep track of which sections are popular on their forum / get the most users. It also helps other users / visitors see if the forum is active or not.
As long as there is an "off" button I am sure this shouldn't be a problem with anyone. Since Kier said it is already being tracked, and just need to be displayed, then it shouldn't be that hard to implement it either.

The issue is not knowing where every member is at, but rather who is viewing the same thread as you at that very moment. It's nice to be able to see who's in the same thread as you when you are having a discussion or just browsing. It also takes away a level of being alone in a thread as you know who is there, in my opinion.

Also waiting for this to be implemented, it is quite essential. At least for me, I need to see which forums are popular among my members and which are not. That would help me determine which way my site should be going, as of yet, I cannot do that.

Not exactly what is requested but this add-on allows you to see who has viewed a thread and will help some.

Wouldn't you base that on the number of posts in a thread? The point of a forum, in my opinion, is actual interaction; the sharing of ideas, viewpoints and opinions.

Wouldn't that be based on hits ? or VIEWs ?
This suggestion won't help gauge what you are looking for.
Agreed.
Absolutely agree. I am an active member on a couple of boards and being able to see who else is viewing a thread is really nice and is something I really like. It does perk a user's interest to make good posts.
This suggestion was made in 2010, and it doesnt look like the developers think the same unfortunately

If you want to increase the possibility of hit happening, you need to like the first post.

I don't know about others but on our forums the point is that members like to see who else is present in a thread they're active in, it creates a 'cozy' feeling. Especially if a thread is very busy and popular. It's actually one of the features that our members love and can't do without.
The other indicators like how many are viewing a forum (on the main page) are of less importance to members, but I personally believe they are useful, they create the feeling of activity and this stimulates people to ask questions, or start discussions. After being admin for 12 years I can assure you things like this really help with building an active community. It's worth the extra queries if you can afford to run them.
