Maybe he got beta 4 to test because he is in a "Mod Builder Group"?

Or he means beta 3 *shrug*

Active Users lists are never 100% acurate, it uses IP addresses to track users, if a user is using IP masking and is chnaging thier IP address, or disconecting and reconnecting and getting a new IP address from their dial up connection then they will be seen as to diffierent usres and so listed twice.

There is no way to make active users 100% acurate as TCP/IP drops the connection as soon as the page is downloaded, so there is no-way to tell if the user is still using the forum or not.
