Posted - 23 Apr 2008 : 16:20:57 I look at the active user screen form time to time, an invariably there are guests looking at members profiles. now that itself isn't bad, but when I come back to that screen like 20 minutes later, there still looking at the same members profile. I was wondering what's up with that. |

Well met
Indeed, this function is certainly restricted and page locations picked up by bots generally don't get anywhere. I have a number of IP blocks on the forum which also operate this way. Whilst a URL may be registered as a search, such illegal operations are redirected to an "access denied" page. |

Posted - 28 Apr 2008 : 17:32:38 Perhaps. It might simply be a record of the last function attempted by the GUEST, rather than a function that was actually carried out. In other words, when a GUEST is said to be reading a Member's Profile, they might not have necessarily accessed it fully. It may just be noting that the attempt was made during the time the "Active User" page was loaded.
