Revisiting Forum Display Options: The Impact on Community and User Engagement

[George Jones]

I only names at the bottom of forums when I'm logged-in. I much prefer how it was before - names and total number viewing on each forum. People want to drop by and see these without having to log in.

We went through something like this before. I can only say again that I love the sense of community that I get when I'm here, and I (and, I think, others) don't get the same sense of community, without the stats at the bottom of each forum.

Annoying.
