Viewing figures under thread titles. Is this a new feature?

[ShamrockShenanigans]

I was looking at Active just now and spotted there were '104 viewing' on just one of the threads.

Is this new?

Screenshot attached but might take a while to get through filter.

Hi OP,

Yes, this is a new feature we’ve introduced.

The viewing count is designed to give users a sense of how busy a thread is in real time and to help highlight where conversations are most active. We hope it will make it easier to spot lively discussions and encourage engagement across the boards.

As ever, we’re very open to feedback, so do let us know if you have thoughts or suggestions as you use it.

Hi @LilyMumsnet

Thanks for your reply.

I think it's a great idea but it was just that one thread and none of the others?
