"Guests" stalking my private forum ? Empty "Guests" stalking my private forum ?

Post by megadread November 4th 2009, 1:34 am

Hi all, just a quicky.
Despite my forum being members only i always seem to have an inordinate amount of guests showing in the "who's online" box.
Is it possible in some way they are viewing my content or am i just being paranoid.
Sometimes i have more guests than members showing and they're staying a surprisingly long time despite (supposedly) not being able to see my forum.
Any ideas. ?

If you have it set that they may not view your forum, then they can not view it.
Theyare just seeing the "Log-In/Register" screen Wink

Thanks Kinky.
It does seem strange though, why would someone spend over an hour looking at the log in page. ?
This is happening all the time and it's starting to freak me out a little as we're only a small forum dedicated to archaeology so not of interest to most.

Yeah it's basically what kinky has said. it could also mean that there are people registering.. but if you have your forum to where guest can not view anything then there is nothing to worry about.
