Not really a problem but just wondered why we get so many more guests on the new forum?  As I write, I am the only member on here but there are 17 guests!  I find it quite intimidating.

It's probably search engines. They were always there on the old version of the forum but it didn't list them as such. I've added a file to the site to tell search engines not to index the forum but it could take as much as a month for them to realise this and stop indexing it.
If the number of guests hasn't gone down in another week or so I'll look up how to get the offending search engines to specifically reindex the whole site, which will force them to look at the file that tells them not to look at the forum - if that makes sense.

Also we do have plenty of guest users who browse the site and may or may not have an account (the 17k+ page views per day can't all be those of us with logins Wink).

I appreciate there were always lots of guests browsing and I wouldn't like to put anybody off from joining our happy throng but at the moment there are 23 of them and I feel like Big Brother is watching me, just waiting for my next post!
