If you knock your head against a brick wall and hear a hollow sound, it's not necessarily coming from the wall.

Derek Barnstorm Hacker God Offline Posts: 1114	Reply #4 - 12.12.09 at 19:45:20 Cool. Thanks for this. I've only noticed a couple of small things so far - For some reason it's not picking up the Register and Login pages for me, I get 'Guest is visiting Undefined page'. Also (just to be fussy), maybe you could do something with the activity tag in Template Configuration and add it to the old 2.1 template too?

Did you upload the latest 'OnlineActivity.lng' file?

I usually work on my Mac, but I installed it through BoardMod on my PC, so I'd used a version I downloaded last night. Doh! It's all working fine now I've updated anyway.

Hmmm - strange. I've now been testing on 5 different test boards with 5 different browsers and 6 different accounts besides guests and i've been over the code more times and have not been able to create any problems or found anything in the code to cause problems.

Captain John Hacker Expert Offline Posts: 264	Reply #13 - 11.01.10 at 16:10:08 mm seems to work Ok for me, Have Guest Activity enabled ? Everyone starts at the BoardIndex. Using the browser back button will not update (as it shouldn't), visiting a board, then clicking on the Nav link to return to Index displays online activity stats, correctly for me.
