Technical question: Where did the DETAILS link in the Who's On-line box go.
Don't know about others, but I used it frequently. Kinda like looking over someone's shoulder while they were reading.

Another problem just occured.

I tried to post the above, and got an error message that I could not post this, page back. I did and re-submitted. Then I got a message that the post already existed. But, it didn't appear on the Recent Post list. As of now, it still doesn't.

However, when I go to My Stuff - recent posts, there it is. This has happened before, resulting in double posts often.

Talking about these small problems, Dennis. I'm actually logged in but in the Who's Online box it's marked 5 registered (followed by 5 names (but not mine)) 50 guests and 180 Spiders!

What on earth is a spider? A lurker, maybe?

Jock, I see you there. But, you used to be able to click on details and see where everyone was reading, by subject or forum.

I think spiders were those who got here through a weblink.

A guest came directly here, but has not signed up.

My guess.

Going to chat Room, join us.

Spiders are the programs that search engines use to index web pages. So, a spider doesn't represent a person at all. Guests are anyone not logged in, but actually using a real browser.

Dennis, click on the Who's Online title for the detailed page.

Dennis, it's a known issue that happens under odd circumstances and we're working with the developer to have this bug squashed.

Jock, it's cached so it takes a few minutes to update. You might also have to adjust your preferences as you could be set invisible (hiding from who's online.)

cgeorg's explanation of the spiders is dead on:

thanks Admin

And I always thought a spider was an eight legged little insect like thing that likes to make spider webs and kill insects.

well, we ARE on the web...........

That sounds insect related to me...
