EZboard lame question (about who's online)

[TraceyHand]

Why is it that, if you look on the mainpage, it say 'X number of people online, Y guests online'..but, if you look on the 'Who's online' page (yes, I live there, I'm nosey!) it says X number of people online (and lists them, if they're not set as 'invisible') but 0 guests online?

Why doesn't it say 'Y guests online' here too?

Yeh, ok...I have nothing better to do...is just an observation and a niggle, that's all

I used to look there too - I have my doubts as to its reliability, and I have very often left a thread open, not logged in, for days on end.

What I noticed was when there is a file to view (30kb, 0 views) and you have look at it - when you go back, it's still '0' - refreshing the page doesn't alter it either. So how many have ACTUALLY viewed it? Not that it matters.

(For '0', read whatever number was there when you looked)

There's obviously a very serious bug that needs to be immediately reported to the forum police. Did you dial the emergency number or shall I?

It's probably those invisible infultrators again - I think we need to up the security threat to devcon 2. I'll contact M and get her to brief 007 and get him on the case right away.

We can't posibly continue like this.

Duncan....you're absolutely right. In the interests of National Security, this much be fixed immediately!!

OK, so it isn't the most life-threatening of 'bugs'....but I just thought I'd mention it

[Duncan Rounding]

TBH I didn't even know there was a 'Who's Online Page' until you just mentioned it. Is there a subliminal message here perhaps Tracey?

yeh..it says 'you are a Saddo...go get a life'

[Duncan Rounding]

Now, for the record, that's not what I said - but it does make you wonder.

[TraceyHand]

yeh yeh...you didn't say it...the 'force' said it...is that right?

That really is a nosey page isn't it - you can even see what they (we) are looking at!
