A fun thing to do with Flyertalk...
Mods - I posted this in Community because I felt it belonged here since it has to do with the FT Community. If you feel it should be moved somewhere else on FT, please feel free to do so - I just wasn't sure where.
So, usually when I read FT, I tend to stick to the same several forums (fora?) & completely pass over other ones (such as some of the airport forums). So, today, having felt that I had read all the posts in the fora that interest me the most & still not satisfied with my fill of FT for the day, I went to the Who's Online forum. I must say, this is the most interesting forum of them all - not the crazy trips in Mileage Run or strong conflicting points of view in the Travel Safety & Security forum - but the Who's Online forum.
It's kind of like a secret peak into the lives of FT'ers & it's a compilation of all of the most interesting threads on every forum (if they weren't interesting sounding, why would an FT'er click on it?) Go ahead - get on the Who's Online forum & see what other are reading & you'll find some interesting FT threads that you may have missed!
It's just another fun thing to do on FT!

Sorry, I'll take a dif viewpoint. I discovered this feature months ago but don't click on it cuz I felt like I was 'spying' on the person & that made me feel very uncomfortable.
If you want to know who's online, heck all you have to do is click on Forums & at the bottom of the page (along w/ bdays etc) it will show everyone who is online. But if you want to know what thread they're reading you have to actually go to that option in the listing of fora. And again, it makes me feel like I'm spying on them. YMMV.
Cheers. Sharon
