Title: Who's Online, for fun
Post by: GTRS Fiero on March 06, 2017, 08:12:00 pm: Guests posting?

All by myself:

Post by: Raydar on March 06, 2017, 08:33:55 pm: Mmmmkay.
I'm here, for a few minutes. I'm not gonna do screen caps, however. Gonna see what's new since I got home, and then probably go to bed.
Title: Re: Who's Online, for fun
Post by: GTRS Fiero on March 06, 2017, 08:36:16 pm: Those were over the course of several months.

Just observice that it shows guests posting and daylight hours when even the robots aren't on. Well, daylight hours in my time zone.

Post by: Fierofool on March 06, 2017, 09:46:02 pm: When it lists Guests down there, they're only viewing. They can't post until logged in. They could be a registered user that's not logged in, or just someone visiting and browsing through the threads. I sometimes leave the forum up without logging in, just to monitor something I'm interested in. That shows up at the bottom as one of the Guests. Next time you find yourself as the only one on the forum, log out and you'll see that you show up as the only Guest, but in that mode you can't post.

Post by: GTRS Fiero on March 06, 2017, 09:50:26 pm: I understand. Look at the bottom 2 images. I'm just reading what it shows.
Title: Re: Who's Online, for fun
Post by: GTRS Fiero on March 22, 2017, 07:09:56 pm: How does a guest have an ”Unknown action”?
Title: Re: Who's Online, for fun
Post by: Fierofool on March 22, 2017, 08:40:45 pm: I'm just guessing but could it be that someone clicks on Message Board and just looks to see if there's anything new without logging in. They'd show up as a guest, but there would be no action on their part. I do that from time to time rather than log in. I wait to see if there's anything new in a topic I'm interested in.
Title: Re: Who's Online, for fun
Post by: GTRS Fiero on April 23, 2017, 06:19:12 pm: There are currently 8 people registering for an account. Or, maybe they're robots.
Title: Re: Who's Online, for fun
Post by: Fierofool on April 23, 2017, 08:34:48 pm: I'm like Raydar. I look without logging in, so I show up as one of the guests. If I want to say something, or look at a link that's otherwise not visible without logging in, then I log in, say what I have to say or look at what I need to look at then log out. Sometimes as a moderator I'm in other areas not visible to the average member. Like sorting through all those members awaiting approval at the top left of the page. Even though they may have been banned, they still show up there until TopNotch clears the list.
Title: Re: Who's Online, for fun
Post by: GTRS Fiero on April 23, 2017, 08:42:04 pm: In general, I stay logged in on my primary device, but sometimes have posting issues, so have to log in on another device. When I log out on there, it logs me out of my primary device.
Title: Re: Who's Online, for fun
Post by: Fierofool on April 23, 2017, 08:45:01 pm: I was looking for the "Cars For Sale" and can't find it on the home page or message board. I know at one time we had such a section, but it got very stale because no one was posting their cars there. Most were using The Market section. BTW, I didn't see a link in the $1500 Fiero you posted about.
Title: Re: Who's Online, for fun
Post by: GTRS Fiero on April 25, 2017, 07:03:49 pm: I checked out some other Fiero forums. No one online, only 1 or 2 members posting, few recent posts. I left.

My theory is that, if I'm logged in while browsing the site, it shows in the members online. Guests can see how many users are logged on, and it makes the forum look more active. It's much better to see X guests, Y users, than X+Y guests, 0 users. I'm not hiding out. Just my $.02.

I Have Cataracts And Have A Problem Reading The Forum Some Times.
Title: Re: Who's Online, for fun
Post by: TopNotch on April 26, 2017, 04:37:46 pm: She's 4ft 10, but she has a gun, a taser, a stiletto, and pepper spray, so be careful.
ps. I'm her husband, and I have a few guns, too.

As my mother says, good things come in small packages. I have no issue with GrannyLinda's font (not that it would matter if I did). I thought it was something special that TopNotch set up for her, in the way of her own special font. The rest of us will get bad eyesight reading the microprint on here! Anyway, here we have been referring to GrannyLinda's font (face, size, color) as the GrannyLinda Option. If you read her posts, the tone isn't yelling. She does tend to be all business, though, so I thought it was cool that she took the time to post in a topic I started. She's posted in topics I started several times, now. Next goal is to make her laugh.

Dang. You guys have been busy posting. It took me a while to catch back up.
Title: Re: Who's Online, for fun
Post by: GTRS Fiero on April 26, 2017, 07:17:21 pm: As I think on it, being 4' 10” probably has lots of benefits:

4. Fitting in airplane seats
5. The toilet is the right height
6. The sofa isn't as hard to get out of
7. Not having to bend as far to pick things up
8. Not being used as a beanpole, ladder, or extension to reach things
9. Not hitting your head on everything people hang from the ceiling
10. Not having to hunch over when boarding an airplane
11. Clothes actually fit

31. You don't have to duck your head to fit under the hotel shower head
32. You fit in the tub
33. You can get to the things in the cabinets, low drawers, etc, without having to sit down
34. Jumping-jacks aren't an ordeal
35. You can touch your feet and all those other folding exercises that are impossible to do when the lower part of your body is longer than the upper part
36. You can sit comfortably at the piano
37. The ironing board is at the right height
38. You can use the bottom of the fridge
39. You don't have to bend over to use the mic at the podium

Post by: GTRS Fiero on May 04, 2017, 05:58:57 pm: Nobody? That's odd. Usually there are posts waiting for me.

Post by: Slyp on May 05, 2017, 11:00:29 am: Maybe you crossed the line in what you posted

It has been quiet. I think it was the day before that there wasn't a single new posting and every time I had checked, no one was logged in.

Post by: GTXVette on May 17, 2017, 08:23:20 pm: Miles to go Before we Sleep. Lots of Questions about the engine and Trans and how to, on the turbo,I have studied them for years but never Had one to play with.
Title: Re: Who's Online, for fun
Post by: GTRS Fiero on July 10, 2017, 08:16:25 am: I'm seeing some users online I haven't seen for a bit. SRT6, HarryT, CowsPatoot, and fiero4.3. There was a new user yesterday. Good stuff. I think I saw 45 on at once yesterday, but about 10 of those were users.

Today, I saw 16 guests, 2 users (1 hidden). Interesting.
Title: Re: Who's Online, for fun
Post by: Fierofool on July 10, 2017, 09:21:05 am: And I just approved 2 new forum members yesterday.

Some of those guests showing up may be from the Kappa Registry (Solstice/Sky) Registry or the Georgia Triumph Association. I've been in contact with their up-front people about joining us for RFTH this year. I do already have confirmation that some of the Kappa folks will be joining in. Rather than having a lot of threads going on a lot of sites and having to duplicate or triplicate information, I just gave them a link to our RFTH information thread. There are also a number of other Fiero Clubs that have links to us, too.

Currently there are 22 guests shown online. I checked all areas that a guest can view to see where they are and only 17 of them show up. I don't know where the other 5 are hiding.
Title: Re: Who's Online, for fun
Post by: GTRS Fiero on July 10, 2017, 06:08:23 pm: Maybe they're in stealth mode.
Title: Re: Who's Online, for fun
Post by: Fierofool on July 12, 2017, 08:40:58 am: I was just thinking about the invisible guests. When you open any section or thread of the forum, at the top you can see who's viewing that particular section. I went through each section, noted the guests viewing that board and I came up with less than what the home page said was present. I think those invisible guests weren't viewing any one section but were looking at the overall home page of the message board.
Title: Re: Who's Online, for fun
Post by: Roger on July 12, 2017, 04:45:26 pm: I don't know if I'm here or not. I logged in 'Forever' but every time I go to the page it doesn't know who I am.
Who am I? Where am I? Why ain't I retired yet?
Title: Re: Who's Online, for fun
Post by: Fierofool on July 12, 2017, 06:16:36 pm: If you login Forever and don't click log out when you leave, you should be online when you return to the board.

You can always tell if you're here or not. No matter where you go, just look around and there you are.

Post by: GTRS Fiero on August 07, 2017, 08:19:58 pm: These two are my favorites:

I haven't yet attended a meeting, so I guess this is as close as I've been. Almost all the regulars were online at the same time as I was.
Title: Re: Who's Online, for fun
Post by: GTRS Fiero on October 19, 2017, 06:37:42 pm: Wow! 54 people online today. No posts, so I hope they found helpful information or amusing stories or something. It doesn't seem as if they registered, although I've seen 10 or so people trying to register.
Title: Re: Who's Online, for fun
Post by: Fierofool on October 19, 2017, 08:50:44 pm: There's 106 sitting out there waiting for approval. Many of those are from China, Russia, and other countries. Many of them are from the same group, using various usernames but ending in the same last few letters like kew or dem, or they're from the same African nation. I'm sure they can look at the forum, but without registering, they can't get much personal information unless someone posts their email address, home address, or phone number in a thread.

There are lots of people aware of us and read us without registering. I've been talking to someone who's doing a 7730 upgrade. He's been reading our threads, especially f85gtron's, and learning from our members.
Title: Re: Who's Online, for fun
Post by: GTRS Fiero on October 19, 2017, 09:13:23 pm: F85gtron's thread is very helpful. I certainly read his thread several times.
Title: Re: Who's Online, for fun
Post by: Fierofool on January 18, 2020, 09:01:35 am: I think I have figured out why we're getting such high guest counts on our board. When those guest counts go up, we get snowed under with the bogus registrations.
Title: Re: Who's Online, for fun
Post by: GTRS Fiero on January 18, 2020, 09:03:27 am: How many, with 182 users?
Title: Re: Who's Online, for fun
Post by: Fierofool on January 18, 2020, 09:44:09 am: I believe that includes all valid users that are registered, plus all those that are bogus, trying to gain access.
Title: Re: Who's Online, for fun
Post by: GTRS Fiero on January 18, 2020, 10:18:57 am: Yes, plus guests viewing.
