This thread is the continuation of "off topic"-remarks, which - in fact - started here (click to see)

If you recall, in a private message I've told you that I am moderator on other forums, using same code. I know were to look (for example, BSPeter is allways hidden). But I don't think normal users look for who is online, and if you want to search how often somebody accesed the forum, you must be at least moderator.
I don't want to comment your previous post.

You get me involved in something you don't understand, and please don't put words in my mouth (or write something I did not said or write). You are a little out of line in here.

Mhmm..probably you are right, so please forgive me..

Regarding the forum accesses, it's not needed to be a moderator or see the "Who is online" page to see who is online, at the bottom of the first page there is a list with names and numbers of connected users.

Sorry again to have involved you on this, I'll modify my message..

I don't know of any "Who is Online"-page. :?
I think by "At the bottom of the first page" you most probably mean at the bottom of the index-page in the "Who is Online"-section I assume, like mentioned and shown in my previous post in this thread?

Edit: "my previous post in this thread before it was split in two parts"

Hey, can a moderator move this part of the topic to the off-topic topic ? :)

Sorry, now I see that the post I am refering too, is made by BSPeter. He didn't know about our discussion. I assume he wanted to help.

OK, I now understand Tizio meant th?t "viewonline"-page, when referring to the "Who is online-page". (I was referring to the "Who is Online-section" at the bottom of the index-page and I still think that is what he meant when referring to "at the bottom of the first page").

(I don't think the average user will bother to look at the "viewonline"-page, but when enterring the forum I think they will always notice (though maybe not really read) the "Who is Online"-section of the index-page).

Done! (well not really, but I split up the thread anyhow).

And that was what I wanted to speak of, sorry if I exposed my thoughts in a bad way :P
