Just noticed as I posted my last topic, that right now there are apparently 156 guests, and 5 users!

Whad-up-with-that I wonder.  Huge amount, it seems to me.

I think that if you are online and not signed in you appear as a guest ... that could account for part of it .... especially if people are not at home (ie on hols). Now there are 162 guests and 2 users!

Hi CJ and V,

Thanks for pointing this out, I see what you mean, and will flag it with Nick as something to look into by moving it to the Admin section. I have a feeling that something needs a little twist by our spannerman   Wink

No need for panic on this one guys Smiley

Two reasons for this.

1. We are currently being hammered by Googlebot, Inktomi / MSNbot, Yahoo and a whole host of other search engines simply because we have changed the forum URL from /yabbse/ to /community/

That's the reason I was very precise and how to transfer the domain web address. The bots are being encouraged to follow as many links as possible in the new web address to maximise our exposure because I have told the search engines that the change is permanant.
The bots will gradually filter out the /yabbse/ elements and overwrite them with the /community/ links.

2. I have optimised the forum and front pages to get the Search engines to send as many robots at one time as possible to speed up the process. Each bot will show as a 'Guest' in 'Who's Online'

Aah, ha Nick--thank you for the explanation!  It's clear as mud to my non-technical brain, but I believe it all, and thanks again for all your hard work! Grin
