New Feature: What Activity Are We Doing Right Now Feature

Kirbyt

I want to discuss about this feature.

This feature is for telling us what we are doing right now.

For example: Now: Adding Fanwork.

Now: Posting Comment on Picture.

Now: Viewing Forums.

Now: Posting on a User's Profile.

It will be right above the Member's Info.

The Administrator will watch the entire of us of what we are doing with computerized camera or something. Some other forum websites have a feature like that.

You can tell what you are doing at the moment based on what's on the page you're viewing.

I can't imagine why the admins would care about knowing what you're doing.

You don't understand. It sounds like that you are telling me to have my own of telling myself what I'm doing. All I want is that everyone should have [u]themselves[/u] on they're doing for their own.

Reread the sentence you just typed, and tell me if that made any sense at all.

I don't know about you, but I don't want others to know what I'm doing online because it's none of their business and I wouldn't want to share it with others.

What I've forgot to tell you is that there is a computerized device that looks out on all of the users who are online.

What about waiting for them on requests. Right now I made one of my friends to draw my request, but it turned out that they are not ready yet to draw it. How am I suppose to know if they are doing the request or not, or if they are talking to someone else? Confused

The site doesn't have a way of knowing if someone is drawing or if someone is chatting with someone or anything else not directly related to the site.

If you want to know what someone else is doing, ask them.

Good idea, but this feature is acting like an Auto Asking. For the last time, it tells you what they are doing if your viewing other people's profiles.

The TRUE example.

If they are viewing other people's gallery, the feature might say, Viewing Other User's Gallery.

If they are posting a comment on a picture or story, it will say, Posting on Picture/Story.

If they are making a blog, it will say, Making Blog.

Too much trouble, not much use. I think most people wouldn't want other people to know what they're doing anyway.

tl;dr

If you want the site to know what you are doing at all times, post the webcam url Smile

Tho what you want may already exist in the blog feature.

Too much trouble. We'd need a separate database column (or table) exclusively to record last-page-viewed information for every user on the site, doing so involving an extra database write on literally every pageview for every logged in user.

And that's not even counting potential security concerns, i.e. blocking URLs of staff control panels from being logged along with ordinary pageviews.

It is really a lot of work for something of relatively little value, that a number of users would happily disable the moment they're given an option to.
