Hey guys! congratulations on an excellent Forum Software! you can see mine running at http://v2.tlab404.com.

The problem is that i have noticed a strange thing happening with my atice users today.  It says :

In total there are 8 Active Users online, 15 Guest(s) and -7 Member(s)

Why do you think the count is out of sync? Also this is..MSSQL, not a free host and version 7.7a

Thank you for any help

How so out of sync? It could be 7 members + 1 member that does not want himself to be identified as being online. (A setting in the CP)

In total there are 6 Active Users online, 13 Guest(s) and -7 Member(s)
Member(s) online: Benito

It always says -7 members?

If he didnt want to be identified surely, it just wouldnt register in the active users.?

if you haven't tried it ..go into the admin area turn off the active users feature... and go to the forum... and then turn the feature back on...

if this doesn't work turn it off again and wait 20 mins... as that could be the timeout..... and turn it back on and see if that fixes it

As a test, change the name of your application variable.  That we you can isolate if it is another forum on the same server causing interference....

From the above you have 6 active users including 1 Member.

intActiveUsers = UBound(saryActiveUsers, 2) is calculated for the total number of users, so that should be OK.  So 6 is correct.

intActiveMembers = intActiveUsers - intActiveGuests
So we can see from this that if your Guest Count is wrong, for whatever reason, your member count will be wrong as a result.

So the question now is, which is your Guest Count 13 and not 5. Fomr looking at your examples, and your site, your Guest count is always 8 to high, ie it is starting at 8 before it steps through the active users application var.

Make sure you have intActiveGuests = 0 near the top of your page (default.asp).
