Hello everyone!
This site is powered by VBulletin. I know another site powered by VBulletin, and on that site you can see which members are currently viewing your thread. Even if the thread/forum wasn't created by you, you can still see people looking at the thread.
I think this would be a great idea to add to this site.
Also, the other site I know has an option where you can create a "userpage" using code. A userpage is basically a website, but on that site you can give some background info on yourself, such as hobbies (nothing too personal), you can show off your code skills, you can talk about different cool stuff you did, interesting threads you created and links to them... That site was also a forum for a video game, so you could talk about that video game, your character...
I also think that would be a great idea for this site.
But again, it's up to the Wrox team.

Andy, the profile page that you edited to add your bio and brief interests is the best place to add the more detailed information about yourself and your projects too.

As far as the "who's viewing your thread" that's a good idea but there are so many good features and add-ons available for vbulletin that we stopped somewhere. I can't remember a specific reason for leaving this out, just that we had so many features to implement that were must have we did leave out some options.

OK, I just liked the userpage idea because you actually get to design with code, since this is what the forums are all about.
But I do agree about having to stop somewhere after implementing so many ideas! I don't know how much better these forums could get!
