I don't know if anyone but -boRg- can answer this but some one else might so I'll post a public message...

In the Access version of the DB there is a table called tblActiveUser, I never see that table get populated with any information even if there is a user logged in.

So the question is: what is the point of that table?

I also wanted to ask you why was the Latest Forum Posts removed and it no longer shows the Active Users in the new version of the forum? Was this just left out in the beta?

Why remove such great features from the forum?

The table is to temparily store active users.

It's still there in version 7, but in the access version it is turned off by default, you can turn it back on in the admin area on the forum configuration page.

The reason why it it turned off by default in the access version is that access is not very good at being updated as often as an active users table needs updating and can lead to the database becoming corrupted.
