I just noticed that all of the "Most users ever on line" type statistics were obliterated a few weeks ago.  Did the usership of this site just skyrocket over the past few weeks, or was the way users/members are counted change in some way? :-?

Inquiring minds want to know.

They are still showing up on mine.

They're still showing up on mine too, I was just wondering how they all got broke by such a high margin.

It seems to me the site is showing me as on-line long after I've left. I can be gone for a couple of hours, and when I return I am shown as if I had been on the entire time, rather the most recent one checking in. Maybe this is reflected by the higher numbers?

I think it does that because when you select how long you want to log in for. Even if you leave the site, I think you're still technically signed in.
