Who's Online Bug Fix

[Steve Machol]

When I installed the Who's Online hack, there was a slight bug that would sometimes result in a registered Member showing up as a 'Guest' instead of Member. I've believe I've now fixed the bug. Please let me know if you notice a difference.

John,

The Who's Online hack is entirely dependent on whether or not a 'cookie' is set. Consequently it also depends on how you've set up your browser to deal with cookies.

The bug I fixed was because the cookie wasn't being set on the Main Forum page. Since the fix, I'm seeing a higher percentages of Members vs. Guests.

Have you done much hacking of your forum? I've added four hacks so far:

[list=1][*] Memberlist[*] Who's Online[*] Stars Hack[*] Inline Stats[/list=a]

The next one I'm considering is the NewsFader hack. After that, I think I'm going to slow down for a while and give my wife some more attention. ;)

Steve, I am still a guest :( Is it something I am doing wrong? It also won't let me log out. Is this something we need to be doing, or will it automatically log us out when we leave? I know I am still a little confused about it-Still love the board we will figure it out. 6 years from now we will still be asking these stupid questions'now I remember you told me how to do this several years ago, BUT...'
Talk to you later!
