a daft question

[marksworld]

why at the bottom of the forum page does it say 25 members on line and i can only see 8 names, surely if 25 are on line you should see 25 names. its got me a bit confused lol (doesn\'t take much mind)

At the time of posting this, it says there are 13 members on line...............................there ARE 13 names displayed.


EDIT:
It\'s now just dropped to 8 members on line...........and there ARE 8 names displayed.

Ahhhh......right......are you looking at the values at the bottom of the screen or those over on the left of the screen, Mark?

 

[marksworld]

yes i am


cheers

Don\'t believe those over on the left......they are WAY out.....always have been. Not sure what it is they are monitoring, but it ain\'t the number of people logged in........well, not on this site, anyway......lol

 

[jonny_mc]

aye thats where i was looking aswell as the bottom tony mate.

 

[TC]

Bottom of screen now says 11 members..........shows 11 names

Left of screen says 16 members.........DON\'T believe what\'s on the left of screen.

It\'s not really important, so don\'t worry about it, man.

.....could it be because some people have logged in but chosen to hide their online status????? just an idea.....

Mark, it is as Jim says. There is no such thing as a daft question. Just daft people who do not understand a straight forward question.

its possible the figure on the left is a Stat based on the amount of visitors over a lengh of time ie 5 or 10 or 20 minutes

 

[TC]

Pottsy.....you may be right

Alan.......you also may be right
