    I just looked at the online list. It says: 0 guests online, but when I click the link, it says:
    Guest: Viewing board index.

    When I relooked at the board index, it still said "0 guests online"

    What's up with that?

      Obviously there was no guest on when you looked at the stats, then when you clicked the link, a guest came on, then when you went back to the board index, the guest had left. Simple no?

        No....but it records actions up to for 15 minutes....well, if you don't believe me about the glitch, go to the board index, look at the # of guests on, then check Online List. Sometimes, you notice it has at least +1 more guest on, and they are 'Viewing Board Index.' I'm not too sure how often this happens though.

          I just had a similar thing on my forums. It said there were 3 guests, and each time I refreshed and check, it said 3 on the online list, but the when I sorted by last click, it said there were only 2. Then again, it may have something to do with organizing by last click, no?

            Well, it could be a glitch in IPB 2.0

              Gimli, the guest status is shows when an anonymous member is on I believe.

              Check it now to see if I'm right or not

                  I think that may have nbeen Isaac13 being funny, but I'm not sure.
                  Kik, when anon. members are logged on, it shows them as anon. members.
                  [EDIT] Sorry Kik, you were right.

                    Well, because of the way Kik stated it, I do believe Anonymous members online do have a connection with this so-called 'guest glitch', I'm anonymous. O_o I'll log out and log in as Regular to see if Kik is right.

                    -EDIT-: Kik was right! O_O How did she figure it out?! Same way as me?

                        True Julian. Very true. But I was just interested as to why IPB 2 would have a glitch, as I have never seen any others.
