AI Thread Summary
The "last 10 visitors" feature on profile pages has been temporarily removed for testing purposes to assess its impact on database strain.

There is curiosity about how long this removal will last and the reasons behind its use. Participants express interest in the visitor data, noting that it can reveal unexpected names. The discussion also includes light-hearted banter about privacy and visibility online.

Temporarily. Testing how much strain it puts on the db.
 
Thanks Greg.
 
Greg, you might try to limit the nr. of profile visitor messages to 10 (or 5). For some people this is like a chatroom.
 
Just noticed this also today. BTW, how long is temporary?

Just curiosity. Just like to see what the numbers look like every once in a while. I sometimes see names that I've never seen in any of the threads that I post in which is curious for me also.

Nobody saw me...
