I am using UBB 6.2.1 and enabled show last visitors. When I see the list of recent visitors it shows a few members names + guests quote: Orbital Recent Visitors: 18 sleeper, Simkin, Puppy, JiMmEkE, CaT, Xius, KEVman, djeelco, SystemLord, and 9 guest(s)
The strange part is that you NEED to register to access the fora (Members Only Access.) I thought guest should`t be able to logon, what am I missing/not seeing?
Thanks in advance!

I had the same problem , now I am probably am wrong but what i think is when the Recent Members Refreshes every 30mins(or whatever its set at) on the 30min that someone refreshes it counts them as a guest. I think this is wrong though

PNTF logs the request *BEFORE* verifying that a user has access.
In this case, most of those guests are probably users that tried to get in, but were denied entry.
(Users that are invisible are also logged as guests.)

tnx for replying
Is this also the case when guests can`t see any of the fora before they regged? The first page they see is the login screen.
thanks in advance
