Record number of users

Post by Larry »

Didn't look at the forum yesterday as I was busy trying to avoid floods on my way to Darlington. Looked this morning and it seems that the forum managed a record 68 users on-line last night. Funnily, no-one posted anything by the looks of it except db. Have I missed something?

Is it registered users that count or are guests included in the total on-line count?

I got all exited that suddenly a load more Stage 1 V8 owners had all found the site at once. :D

Pretty sure its both on a phpbb forum.

I will have a look at the documentation and check.

Yes, guests are included in the count. That will include things like search engines indexing the site and spam bots trying to register.

68 is still surprisingly high though and there wasn't an especially high registration rejection that day. Since I added the extra question to the registration process it's rejected 1144 spammers (since March 16) so thanks to jonnyboy for pointing that one out to me.

I just authorised 3 new users.
