I know that MyBB registers the number of "views" to a particular thread - does it also LOG the IP of the viewer - or is there some other way to see which IP/user has viewed a particular thread??

TIA

No, there is no feature that currently does that.

I think that would take up a lot of server resources.

AFAIK, it just has a counter and doesn't keep track of unique views. i guess implementing it wouldn't be too hard. just need to attach another field to each thread and write the id of any user that loads the page.

should only take 1 more SQL query.

$db->query("INSERT IGNORE INTO mybb_whoreadthreads (uid, tid, dateline, ip) VALUES ('$uid', '$tid', '".time()."', '".$session->ipaddress."')");

You just need to create a table called mybb_whoreadthreads, and make uid a primary key (no auto-increment), with tid, dateline, and ip as normal columns.

Then you can just search up the tid when you want to look at who read the thread.

I think that will work, but I haven't tested it.
