Yeah, this feature is definitely in the gems.

It's probably on your list to do, but have you considered grabbing the real usernames as people type out their PM recipients and displaying them in a dropdown? Some modern sites have started to do this, probably prompted by Facebook and the like, and it's nice when you don't quite remember if you've got the spelling right.

Definitely. I'll trigger [url=https://twitter.github.io/typeahead.js/examples/]Twitter's Typeahead.js[/url] dropdown whenever you've typed the string "[@<letter>" into an editor. It's pretty slick.

In other news, I'm almost done with the feature that tracks the forums and topics that users/guests are viewing. That allows me to bring back the "Off-Topic Discussion (17 Viewing)" numbers on the homepage and the "7 Users and 8 Guests are viewing this topic: Mahz, Genkai, Captain Jordan" on the topic view.

I always loved that feature and it's been heavily requested. Makes the forum feel more alive.
