Looking at my "Who's Online" list and one guest has "nothing, or nothing you can see" next to him.

Not seen that before,  can anyone throw some light onto this?

Nothing relevant in that. It could be bug while displaying to other people who check Who's Online list, or in case if you are not full administrator and you are limited to not see some boards or actions and some member has greater access than yours, it will show you that info. Also if you often check it, you will notice to happen often.
So its nothing, or nothing you should worry about.

It's almost never a bug.

User A is viewing topic 1234 (or whatever), user B can't see topic 1234; user B will see "Nothing or nothing you can see" in Who's Online for user A - because user B can't see the topic.

If you see it as an admin, it's usually a now-deleted topic that something or someone is trying to access (because admins can see everything), and there is no topic to be found, thus nothing you can see.

The construct is written to be deliberately ambiguous in the same way that if you try every topic number, you get told the same whether the topic doesn't exist or it does exist but you can't see it.
