@betro-hakala I don't even know what you want to be transparent. Also, if you are using Vanilla theme (not Persona) then the theme's options won't be in NodeBB Category options, those are completely different.
Could you send a screenshot of what you want transparent? That would help us help you.
What happened with the "users viewing a topic" feature?

Maybe the composer popover would be the right place for the "someone-else-is-writing-an-answer" icon?
That is the situation (at least I) want to know about it.
And skip the whos-watching-topic thing. It's a bit creepy anyway.

The older version had the icons up top, but if you were in the middle/bottom of the thread you wouldn't know anyway. Once you scroll down below OP it basically became useless
It could be a float avatar (like we have now for active chats) but with keyboard icon on it.

It was one of my ideas to demonstrate the "real-time" aspect of the forum. I definitely want to bring it back, but in a more performant manner.
I think it goes one step further in communicating the "community" feel of your forum. Instead of individuals posting messages, it's a conversation between people... that sort of thing.

@julian FWIW, what you just described is what drew me to NodeBB and clinched the decision to use it over the alternatives.

I would also like something like this for other reasons. We have a sub category where users post questions and we have certain people assigned to receive emails when new topics are posted - they are supposed to then go and reply to the question and it would be nice to be able inform them somehow that someone else (that was emailed) is already in the process of replying.

Is this still active? Looking for this feature.

@anodetobb Yes! It is available as a separate plugin here

Thanks for @baris for making this happen.

.. and nicely enough, the new (well new-ish enough) sticky topic header made for a great place to put the browsing user avatars.
guess who built that
also @baris -
@julian how does this plugin work?
