Is there a mod available that shows which users are reading a topic?
I've seen it on some php forums such as:
I've searched but can't find one

I think that is available as part of the active users mod, but not 100% certain

Not currently a part of Active Users, but that'd be where to start.

Hmmm, i thought about it and the most reasonable way to make it would probably be storing each view with the member ID, a timestamp and the topicID in a seperate table. Then do a simple timestamp based query like in my "Most viewed of the past 7 days" thingies. However i think it would produce quite a bit of additional DB traffic and space. YOu'd need to purge the list by timestamp at least once a day for a very active forum unless you plan spending much space on that table.

Way too much burden that way. I don't know if I'd even implement it, even if limited to a single call when you start reading a topic. I can see a single call upon entering a forum and displaying which members were in there, but nothing further.

There is a MOD out there, but it's been ages since I last stumbled across it.
If you were planning on reverse-engineering the MOD, instead of storing the data in the database, you might want to look at using something like application variables or some other similar option (can't think of exactly what, still a little fuzzy after last week's bout with the flu).
