Site Updates

Before if people were viewing the website it would only count one of them at a time so it never showed the true amount.

Is it true that members/guests who have exited the forum would still be shown as "online" for a timespan of 15 minutes and then be gone from the list?

yep. Who's online is showing all the page requests a user has made to the forum in the last 15 minutes. The forum software has no option to know if you are still looking at a page locally or if you have been gone of to another site. Appart from the Who's online page itself that refreshes itself. So if some one has been looking at the Who's online page for 5 minutes you know he is off to some where else...

About the whos online page and a person looking at it. In IE if I press refresh at that page it stops loading whenever it is supposed to(timed) thus i coudl be watching whos online and it is just not updating me. ;)

Glad to see that Gob is adding users to the site.

Also, (sorry for double post) there seem to be more guests online. Is this because of the ads? we had most users online yesterday and it was 49 (see stats). Now were 40 of these guests or what?

[exatreide]

yes it was one of the things gob "fixed" so know we have to scroll down to see who is online and whatever, older way was much better.

[Gobalopper]

Andrew I believe I answered that question a few posts ago... unless I'm reading your question wrong.

[Acriku]

Is it possible to have a function that hides the guests from the who's online page? Kinda useless to see what their doing for myself.

[Gobalopper]

I could make it so that only I could see guests, that would be an easy change.

[Acriku]

That'd be good, unless someone can think of a use of us seeing them?

[gryphon]

Why not ?

It's kind of fun to see what topics get looked at by guests. To see what interests them in this site, or just the topics that are monitored at the time.

And they are not really bothering me when they are part of the who's online page.

I always see loads looking at the Frank Herbert's Dune sections but never any posts :-[

[gryphon]

I am not shure if guest posting is allowed at this time.. ???

[lowzeewee]

How come some guests can view and modify profiles?

[Dunenewt]

I meant that people would sign up and post in it.

There is a problem with the Cyprus flag - when you hover over it it says Czech Republic

[exatreide]

And the south Korean flag just says Korea...There is a difference.

[Gobalopper]

Can you get me the image name for that flag Dunenewt?

And Ex the Korea name problem was fixed a long time ago, it was an error in the import script that stopped as soon as it saw a ,. It should read KOREA, REPUBLIC OF or something to that effect.

[exatreide]

ok never mind then :)

[Dunenewt]

I don't know but i would guess it would be either cy.png or cz.png depending on which country the problem is with.

[Gobalopper]

Well I checked and that shouldn't ever happen... if it happens again just let me know, take a screenshot of it too if you can.

[Dunenewt]

Does the Landsraad still exist because i haven't seen any new member for a long time?

[Andrew]

Andrew I believe I answered that question a few posts ago... unless I'm reading your question wrong.

Your right, I didn't understand your post at first but now I do.

[Gobalopper]

No new members have been added recently, its still around just not very active.

[Dunenewt]

When will the next poll for new entry be?
