Are there any plans to incorporate some kind of "Who's on now" display?<

There are several MODs available for that purpose, but I don't believe there are any plans to incorporate that into the base code. Typically, "extra" features like that are left up to individual forum owners to choose and implement, as they are not always something wanted (or needed) by the majority.<

HuwR,
Of course you also are entitled to your own opinion, and apparently the ability to alter the speech of others, but I fail to see where my comments adress anything BUT the release of a new version...after the release of said version especially. I see my comments have been removed instead of being considered for applicability. Perhaps "The last version of Snitz is Wonderful!" is more what you are looking for. I, as a developer of one type or another enjoy a frank review of features I have released. I do not consider registration security features to be "extra" and am responding to reply already made to that effect. Not a new subject, and not hijacking the thread. Shame.<

this thread is about the release of 3.4.06, or didn't you bother to read the title, your comments WERE NOT about the release of 3.4.06 at all, like I said, if you want to comment on what should go in a future release then make it in the correct place, not here.
