The who's online page does not always provide the correct informations. Even if you reload. Of course this goes to the vB creators and not to FWS staff. It might seem a detail, but for me is a really useful page.

What do mean Mika? Looks pretty accurate to me.

I concur... it shows when I read the page, that I looking over it. So it looks accurate...

And I was just viewing who's online and I knew GC was replying to this thread, so it is fine :)

It doesn't list those in invisible mode, like me or Owen or the Poster Formerly Known as Needcgispace. Might that be what you think is an error?

The tracker doesn't really report you instantly, like when you log out. It would just add another guest viewing until 10 mins later when they clear that member.

This is one thing that I wonder about when viewing who's online. I see this occasionally and just saw it again.

Okay when you view who is online you see what visible members are viewing. Example :)

So I don't understand how a guest could be doing moderating duties.

Not sure if this is the answer you are looking for but some moderators are invisible. So I believe they get listed as Guests on the currently online page.

Welcome back Peo :)

No I don't think that is the answer, because sometimes I see guest 'replying to thread' and I check that thread later and find it was months old and wasn't replied to. :confused:

The who's online page does not always provide the correct informations.Anybody who has been here in the past five minutes are considered by vb to be "currently online". And people who are idle have timestamps that don't get refreshed/updated, even though they are there (technically).

I have been a frequent poster in another vb forum (a very small forum, btw) for some time and sometimes it seems as though I´m logged in as both a user and guest. It seems to happen when you hit reload. I´m not sure though.

Great forum btw :) Lots of help here!

What is it for anyway? It doesn't serve any purpose at all, or to me perhaps.
