    Serious Problem with the Who's Online feature...

    Just for the past 2 days, every single time I click on the "currently active members" link who's online, it shows ALL members viewing the shoutbox. I KNOW that's not the case, as they're posting like crazy and while the shoutbox is used ALOT, it's not THAT busy all of a sudden.
    It even shows ME viewing the sb and I'm not... I'm viewing the currently active members and who's online. Could this be a vB glitch or a conflict with the vB shoutbox maybe?

    I hope someone can help... thanks!

    its your shout box OHS..
    sorry to inform you this, but that shout box is prone to that
    and since you have the shout box on all pages other then the portal,, it's going to show everyone as on the shout box..

    maybe try one of the other chat/shout boxes

    You're right... I completely uninstalled the shoutbox, and the who's online worked fine. I reinstalled the shoutbox, and it was still fine. Once I did the editing to place it on every page, it reverted back to showing everyone, even guests and spiders/bots viewing the sb. I took off the hack to put it on every page, and it's fine. So no sb on every page.

    Guess I'll start looking for a chatroom hack
