I've gone through page after page of the mods index, but one thing I haven't found is a feature I love on this very discussion board:
On the main discussion board page, after each forum, it says how many users are currently browsing that forum, i.e.: How Do I... (3 viewing). What mod is this? I'd so love to use it.

This normal function and it's not enabled by default. To enable it go to Admin > Edit Config Settings > Special Functions / Misc. settings and turn on Post Tracking.

I do have post tracking on (tried the 2 flavors available) but neither show current number of users viewing each forum from the main discussion board page. If I understand correctly, new post tracking shows you how many new posts are in a forum, but not how many folks are currently viewing that forum.

I'm sorry pdagal, I mis-read. What version of threads are you using? It's now standard in 6.4.

Still on 6.2.3. Since I'd customized it so much, I've been avoiding the upgrade until 6.5 comes out. . . I might have to re-consider.

How could we change the color of that (3 viewing) to something more definite than white?

Edit your /lang/*/ubbthreads.php as shown below. Then change the color to one that works for you  find: $ubbt_lang['VIEWING'] = "viewing"; Then surround it with color quotes $ubbt_lang['VIEWING'] = "<font color=\"gray\">viewing</font>";

That is correct.  To change the color of the whole string, you'd have to edit the tmpl file to add/change the class for that specific cell so that the text color is different.

I found this in the ubbthreads.tmpl file. <span class="small"><br /> {$forum[$c][$f]['viewing']}<br /></span><br /> that seems to be the only one there that has the viewing option.

thats the forum variable thats built in ubbthreads.php
if (!isset($Boardview[$Keyword])) {
$forum[$x][$y]['viewing'] = "";
}
else {
$forum[$x][$y]['viewing'] = "($Boardview[$Keyword] {$ubbt_lang['VIEWING']})";
}
so change it there instead.
