@tyw For my community the existence of others on the site is important to members especially new members to feel a sense of belonging and opportunity to get the support they desperately are looking for. But I also don’t want to misrepresent the truth. Because if people post and no one is responding but it says 384 people are online then they’re going to think what the hell!?!? This place sucks. the number is calculated by digital 🎯 randomly popping 🎈 and exposing a number. Because of the numbers shown there I was hesitant to put The Who’s online component because 1 doesn’t display like a I would like. The numbers disagree so often too. Our members wanted a new member component more like Jive’s new member widget as well so another reason I have chosen not to put it up when we moved a year ago. a couple people have asked if there was a user directory or a way to see who’s online. I have shared the link with some people but I haven’t felt comfortable sharing broadly. Perhaps I will hide it on the home page until it can be more reliable. It’s really a shame as it was something I really looked forward to in moving Jive to Khoros.
