Good question - but they can view the FAQ above - so my guess is thats what the stats are.
I think u can view the whole board as a guest though.

Correct - if you logout you will see Gre1 - but you can get to the FAQ, i also think that maybe they should be able to at least READ some of the forums here - but its 7th's call ;)

:unsure: Could be.... I just wouldn't think there'd be so many doing that at once.
I didn't think hardly anyone read them at all judging by a lot of the posts! :lol:

Maybe if you sent 7th a PM and asked him to explain - we can only conjecture ;)

Very observant, titey. They can't all be reading the FAQ.

these stats are for the last 15 minutes I believe. Some of you I'm sure log out and in when you visit the forum, that combined with guests viewing the main page and FAQ could account for the traffic, though I can't be that sure either.
:huh:

Thats true - if your not logged in then your a guest. Then you logon, so the guest staus still remains as a statistic and then the member statistic increases by 1. If thats the case, then it seems logical. Allthough not a true picture of the actual hits :unsure:

:unsure: Doesn't the "Guest" number decrease by one as the "Member" number increases?
I didn't think the board allowed for what would otherwise be multiple users online wif the same IP. :huh:
I know the count is corrected if'n you switch out from "Anonymous" mode. :blink:

We are only guessing here, but remember its over a period of 15 minutes - its the totall number over that time - we think :unsure: ;)

http://www.piczonline.com/client/titey/yes.gif Yes.... we are guessing/brainstorming.
I'm not trying to say I'm right.... I'm just asking more questions. ;)
:lol: If I thought I knew the answer, I wouldn't have asked the question to begin wif.

Paul disabled the view functions to keep the server load low. If guests enter the board they are still counted, even if they can't see any boards / posts.

I bet there will be even more new members joining now that registration is compulsory to view the posts.

.... basically, the guests can only voew the 'index' page. You can see this here (http://klboard.ath.cx/index.php?act=Online&CODE=listall&sort_key=click)
The still get counted, if you are thinking they can voew the forum, nope, just the index page. :huh:
