User online

Guys,

Probably an easy question, but I am a little stumped with the online users counter at the bottom of my forum.

I understand when it says that I have 1 registered user online, but I also seem to see "Guests" viewing. Are these people on the login page on my forum? As I have set it so that you cannot see the forum without registering.

Please can someone clarify.

thanks in advance

Hi @moreno5,

If you have everything setup to where guests cannot view, then all they'll see is a login page. Guests can be, guests, members of your forum logging in, or even crawlers.

Thanks for clarifying so promptly.

How can I disable that prevent members hide online status?

You mean prevent members from hiding their online status right? I do not think this is possible... the only thing (that I know of) that you can do is put a rule in place forbiddening users to do it and if they do they recieve reprecussions, you can also go to each user's profile (in the acp) indivually and manually change it so the user is shown 'online'.

But some members are doing it constantly. I want someone to respond with Forumation.

acp>display>colors>css tab add

Code:

input[name="hideonline"]{display:none}

this will hide the options from them so only way to turn it on or off is in the acp
