Hi
 
Much thanks for the feature to store user sessions on the database (MSSQL), but in my webfarm, it seems neither one of my four loadbalancing servers is able to correctly extract and show the number of active online forum users. They allways tend to display different numbers at any given moment.
 
No other problem whatsoever.
 
Any hint?
 
* Using latest Webwiz release 8.04 (but same problem was also on 8.03) , MSSQL 2000, and identical Win 2000 servers.

I'm afraid on a webfarm that the active users feature can not be used as it requires that the data be stored in the web servers memory.

If you can I would recommend using Web Wiz Forums on just one of your load balanced web servers using the web servers application to store session data as you would get better performance, in this case, over load balanced servers as less database hits would be required to store the session data.
