I want to start out by saying that different elements of this feature went live over the past few weeks/months. The feature is a couple months old now but I finally finalized it and now finally making a thread about it.

You'll notice a 'Page Details' box in the 'Information' column. It only appears on the right in browsers wide enough, otherwise you have to click the floating 'Info' box at the top right. It also only partially appears in threads (more on that at the end of this post). This 'Details' box gives full details about the page you're currently on.



Views
This section shows how many views the current page has. Keep in mind that the view counter has only been keeping track of views since the page you're currently on was migrated to the new site code and that migration could have taken place any time between 2015 and 2021 so it's not the most complete counter but relevant to the rest of the pages of the site, it's a good indication of how popular the page you're currently on is.

The views today shows how many views your current page has had since midnight.

The Unique Users view shows how many unique users have viewed your current page. This is super convenient for pages that you are admin of since it lets you see how many users have actually seen your content. If a user views the page more than once, this tally will only increase once for that user and never again for that user since it's only unique views for users.


Last User View
Pretty self explanatory. This shows you the last user to view the page you're currently on and the date/time that they viewed it. This gives the pages more life and also lets you know if users still use the current page that you're on.


Last Updated
Ok so this is probably the best feature in this details box. It gives you the date that the current page was last updated and also tells you who updated it.

Any time content gets added to a page, any time the page gets edited, this information is updated. There are a few times when this might not be updated but I'll expand this to include more actions in the future.

The best part about this is that when I edit a page's actual code, this data also gets updated. So if I add a feature to a page, fix a bug, or pretty much add anything to the code, this info gets updated.


Page Bookmarking
The hollow little star box lets you bookmark a page. When it is bookmarked, then the star will be filled in and can be clicked again to unbookmark the page. After you've bookmarked a page, your most recent bookmarks will appear in the 'Your Links and History' box which appears by default in your User Hud at the top left (User Hud doesn't appear in small displays). You can also access your bookmarks from the Bookmarks page (you can also find a link to it from your profile page).

Speaking of the Bookmarks page, you can also embed the contents of someone's bookmarks to any page that you're an admin of and you can also pin the bookmarks to your User Hud by clicking the 'Pin to HUD' link in the 'Information' column. To add it to a page that you're an admin of, go to that page you want to add it to, click the 'Add Content' link toward the top of the page, and scroll down to 'Bookmarks' and add it. Be sure to edit the details afterward so that you can specify the user id of which bookmarks get displayed (in this case, probably your own user id).


Page Ratings
You can also rate just about any page of the site. The pages don't currently display their rating yet but you can keep track of your own ratings on the Ratings page. Just like with the bookmarks, you can add this content to any page that you are an admin of and you can also add it to your user hud.


What pages am I an admin of?
Good question David. You're an admin of all of the following:
-Any page that someone has made you an admin of (remember, you can add someone as an admin to any page that you're an admin of from the 'Edit Page' link at the top of the page)
-Any thread that you've created
-Any forum that you rent
-Any music playlist you've created
-Any game hack that you've created that has been submitted to the RGR
-Any game character you've submitted to the site
-Your own profile
-Any Calendar you've created (currently an unfinished feature)
-Any Album you've created
-Any Image you've uploaded
-Any Theme you've created
-The page of any Screenshot you've uploaded
-More to come eventually


Thread Page Information
Since threads don't have the 'Information' column, and since Threads already have their own Rating and Bookmarking system, the contents are displayed a little differently.

When you go to a thread, you'll now see a 'Additional Thread Details' in the 'Thread Information' box toward the top of the thread's page.

Here you will be given some of the details that you see on all other pages, which includes:
-Total Views
-Views Today
-Unique User views
-Last User View (with username and date)



There's a lot of stuff here but it's also some very nice information for users to have access to, especially when it comes to your own pages. It's more satisfying to create content when you can see how much the content has been viewed. Users rarely leave comments on a page so this data is the next best thing.

So how come the bookmark star isn't available on the games pages? I'm looking at Quartet for SMS right now and there's no little hollow star

Davideo7 : I really like the ability to see the total number of views for a page, especially seeing how active that page is that day. But is it still possible to see total number of views for the whole site? I remember back in the day we used to be able to see the total number of views in the top left and we made a big deal of crossing 2 billion but that seemed to disappear with all the updates.

I notice this feature the other day and somehow missed this thread thought I might be going crazy for a minute there but I like being able to see who was last on a page always nice to see if a thread is actually being looked at after a while. I'm curious to see what the calendar feature does in the future since I think this is the first time I've heard of the feature.

Forgot to mention that users are also admin's of the screenshot page of any screenshot they've uploaded.


classgame : Good question. I made it available for game pages now.

zanderlex : I've just never been able to find a good place to put the total view counter and I haven't viewed it as priority since it's kind of a feature that died with all websites in the late 90s, early 2000s.

SonicOlmstead : You guys have seen some elements of the Calendar feature via the Timeline (part of a sub feature of the Calendar) I put together for the Vizzed Board 15 Year Anniversary video.

The Calendar will serve a few purposes actually. Users will be able to create their own calendar and collab on calendars. There will be an Official Vizzed Calendar which will show all upcoming Vizzed events and will also give reminders to users when those events are coming up or taking place. Calendars would also be very useful for tournaments where you have users setting up schedules.

Thank you David.
