If there is info on this I have not found it. Does anyone know if the column marked "Online" include "Guests"? I usually have more "Guests" on my forum than I do members and would like to see stats on Guests plus members.

I suspect its members only in that column but want to make sure.
Thanks
Dennis

what do you mean? the "Whos Online" list on the bottom of the index should show stats on both guests and members

The "most online" stat does not differentiate between guests and members.
To the best of my knowledge, that information is never stored beyond the immediate "Who's online" display.

These stats go back to 2008 when I started my forum.
Here is the report (I only fixed format on the first line):

The reason I think it might count members only is that most any 15 min period I will have 75 to 80 TOTAL guests and members and notice that Nov shows "Most Online" as 181. Then thinking about it maybe it means the 181 was the most online in any 15 min period in Nov. Really would like to find out what is included in this column. The other columns have to be members only since you can not start a topic or post without being a member.

if it uses the same number shown on the board index for most online (ever) that does include guests and spiders.
