I have not had time to investigate this at all, and it's not major, but I figured worth reporting. I use Firefox as my browser, and when I go into Active Users, it shows me as using Windows XP IE 6. There is another use on as well, that I know uses Firefox, and her browse is shown properly.

Firefox is dedected properly, however, if you login into the forum using IE 6, you will need to let your session die (this takes 20 minutes of inactivity) before going back to the forum in Firefox, it will then show you as using Firefox and not IE.

The reason for this is when you first come to the forum and session is created for you which stores your browser, however, because most people don't change their browser halfway through a session the browser info stored in your session is not updated. This is done for performance reasons.
