I've been looking through all the posts on the forums, & noticed that as I read posts in the new user forum, the Forum# in the Messages box counts down.
GOOD COUNTER

What has me puzzeled is that every time I read a post in any other forum , the Online# in the Users box goes up?
I'm sitting here at 2:30 am & spent the last hour reading posts & ran the counter up to 300!
Iv'e refreshed & logged out & back in again, but the counter is still way up there.
BAD COUNTER

This has done this other times aswell, the more I read posts the higher the online # gets.
And here I thought all these anonymous users where signing in just be I was online!

PS: I think in was me who ran up the #s in the "Daily Visits" in the "Past Maximums", the last few days as I have been going through all the old posts.

I agree. I tried it and as I went through the old posts,I noted that the number of annonymous users went up as well. It did not work right way but after I had gone through a few old posts the number of annonymous users went up with every old post I viewed. It worked in any forum but I had to read a couple of posts before the number started to rise.

I thought it was fixed for a minute.
I clicked on about 8 posts tonight with it not moving, but then after that it started climbing with every post I clicked on.
I ran it up from 4 to 15 by clicking on 11 posts.

I just found out something else wierd.
I have 86 people in my friends list (I like to keep my eye on new users).
I just went through them (cilcking on each of thier profiles) & the Anonymous Users went up to 81.
I noticed it when it was up to 60 & it was going up 1 Anonymous User per 1 profile that I viewed.
It missed a few but was mostly 1 for 1.
