Ok, this is a small suggestion, but it might go a big way. When using the online users page, any user can see what thread a different user is viewing. Normally, this isn't a problem, but normal users can see staff threads there, and see their names. Maybe it could be possible that we could only see the thread number and not the name?

Hm, just thinking. What if function like requires_powerlevel() would be introduced (to replace old powerlevel checks). It could be used to specify powerlevel for online list. Of course, I'm not ABXD developer, so I'm not going to introduce such check, but I like this idea.

Or, we could allow only normal users and up to view the online page. So unregistered and banned users can't use it

Hmmm yes, I adrealy used this way to get a important link, but It say "You're not allowed to browse in this forum. So, this is not useful.


BTW you'll not become more powerful by posting suggestions.

This can also be a problem with the URL system implemented here. If, for example, you go to http://nsmbhd.net/thread/679/ you can see what the thread title is even though you can't see the thread.

Easy solution for MG3: stop being nosey and watching everything.


If Dirbaio's interested, Kuribo64's URL rewriting code takes forum access rights into account so that restricted forum/thread names are never disclosed.

Bumping because this is still a thing. The staff forum is secret for a reason.

Well, if you do click on the URL while not being staff, you can't view the thread anyway

But it leaks thread titles. Which is not cool.

I will fix this soon. This was actually known since I implemented url rewriting a year ago or so, but I didn't fix it because lol laziness.

I think the "Online users" page should just be deleted. There's no real use for it unless you're stalking someone, in which case it still doesn't have much use.

Or at the very least it should be hidden to everyone except Full Mods, Admins and Roots.

If we want to know who's online, we can just check the top of any page anyway.

If you are on "Mobile view" you can't see who's online. Maybe just the links should be removed.
