Can someone please explain the listings of current active users?

 

On the home page for active users it says:

 

946 (111 registered users and 835 guests)

 

 

..... are their really currently 835 "guests"..... and if so who on Earth are they all ?

 

Or is the guests a cumulative total over all time, or some other such calculation ?

 

PM

...just because something's in print doesn't mean its true.... just look at you Banks T&C's for example !

At the moment it breaks down to 388 spiders and 421 guests, so even when you take the spiders out of the equation there's still quite a number of guests.

I really must be the most irritating pedant on the planet...the pink flashy thing no longer flashes (a good thing) but the message still reads "You have new private messages" - plural? For a single message?

 

I'll get my coat, and close the door on the way out...

Well, yes, you are... :-D (here comes that perch again!) But regardless, I think you are asking far too much of the software to identify the difference between Mr Billy-no-mates (you) who only ever gets one message at any one time and the rest of us who usually get more. :razz:

 

Ideally, it should say: "You have new private message(s)", although no doubt you would then complain about not having an "a" (which should also be in brackets to indicate its validity only in the case of a singular message?). :rolleyes:

 

At some point, honey, it's not pedantry any more, it's just being a grumpy old man. :-D
