I always liked the Hot Seat feature, and I like it even more now that more people show up. It's an enjoyable way to know who is online.
I've had fun in the past clicking on the photo link and PM'ing the friend to say "Caught you!" Or, an intriguing picture would make me go and investigate the person behind it, more often than not giving me impetus to invite them to be friends. That's a hint to get your picture in, instead of those silhouettes, folks.
I PM'd Bogdan this morning with a thank you for this improved feature, and in his reply learned that there's now an option to turn off the popups or reduce them to a button. But I have so completely changed my mind about them that I'm going to leave them as-is.
Also found a workaround for following them--it works to right-click and open them in a new window. Even if they disappear on your screen before you manage to hit Open in New Window, if you right-click before they're gone, you'll get to the thread you wanted.

PS, Beware! Adland is habit-forming, lol.
