Forum Traffic

[GeneSteeler]

I'm pretty certain you didn't write the code for the forum, but I'm having a hard time deciphering this:

5 users active in the past 15 minutes (2 members, 0 of whom are invisible, and 1 guest).
Google, Baidu, GeneSteeler, tanzerleader

So, is it 5 active users?
3 users? (2 members and 1 guest)
or 4 users? (Google, Baidu, GeneSteeler, tanzerleader)

Not important at all, just "confusing"

5 users active in the past 15 minutes (2 members, 0 of whom are invisible, and 1 guest).
Google, Baidu, GeneSteeler, tanzerleader

This means:

• a Google spider is here crawling the forum pages for its search database (1st user)
  
• a Baidu spider is here ... (2nd user)
  
• GeneSteeler is here (3rd user, 1st member)
  
• tanzerleader is here (4th user, 2nd member)
  
• one additional visitor is here (5th user, 1st guest - could be an unknown search spider, could be a PG-HQ member who is logged-out, could be an unregistered lurker, we just don't know)
  

In your User CP you have the option to hide from the Who's Online list, in which case you will be listed as an invisible member.

Otherwise, when you are active I can click on your name and your profile page will tell me which page you are reading, that you're writing a new post, etc.

Does that clear it all up?
