click the 'home' link repeatedly and the 'guests' online goes up by 1 each time.

Info: It only works if you ARE a guest, OR if there is already a guest online. It only did it for me when there was at least 1 guest or more, but when there was 0 online it acted like it should.

Here is a quote of a test I did with 4 times I clicked the Home button:

QuoteRefresh 1 : 31 Guests
Refresh 2: 32 Guests
Refresh 3: 33 Guests
Refresh 4: 34 Guests

I'm using IE6.0

Yes. I logged out so I was a guest, and repeatedly hit it when it was displaying 43 guests...unless they were all gone and just still showing up. Any how, it never incremented past 43.

That's not correct, that there is a max number of guests. I got it past 48 Guests as well. So this is an easy way to set a new record for most users online.

There, a new record set.

yup thats like what i've seen too.

seems only to do it for the home page not other pages like support etc so prehaps its due to the news on the home page
Liverpool FC Forum with 14 million+ posts.

Overseer

yup verified. only does it for links that go to the index

News..on... d'oh.  That might actually be it.

Thanks, I'll look into it.

FIXED!! Oh yes it's FIXED!!!!

It was a problem with the site not the forum, greatfully.

Now I'm worried again:

157 Guests, 31 Users

-[Unknown]

Overseer

yeah it looked that way because other sections that used the stats (SSI?) didnt do it..

it appears fixed.. but is it not going down now? lol

[Unknown]

I even cleaned the active log - it just went back up to 130 in some time.
