[Implemented] Active user list and guests

For those you don't know how to view the active user list


On other zetaboards the active user list was my favourite thing to look at! However, dbzf has a chronic problem with guests which makes the active user list useless.


Example:

The reason for this is because almost all sections are open for public viewing so guests/spam bots have access to thousands of threads to view so that's what they do. I'm not asking for this to be changed because I know that allowing potential members to lurk the board before joining is why you allow this. That's fine because I have a potential solution!

Solution

When we first click into the active user list we are directed to this page by default: http://dbzf.co.uk/online which shows all active users including guests.

We have the option at the bottom of the page to change the sorting options to only show members which results in this: http://dbzf.co.uk/online/?show=r&sort=t&order=d
Look how nice that is! Only members are shown!

So my solutions would be to have this link direct to this url: http://dbzf.co.uk/online/?show=r&sort=t&order=d rather than this url: http://dbzf.co.uk/online by default. Just a simple quality of life update so that us active user list viewers don't have to manually change the option each time. It's tedious!

Thanks for your consideration,
Dingo

I often use that exact page so I'd be happy to not have to always filter out guests.

I don't really use the active users list, but this seems like a good thing to do.

Yeah I use the active user list and find it extremely annoying when its just full of guests. I'd like this to be implemented.

It takes a mere second for treasure to turn to trash.

This is great information - I personally stopped using the active users list because of all of the guests. I'm forwarding this suggestion off to Tim right away. Thanks Dingo. ^_^

It's funny because I was already thinking of doing something about this a few days back.
