Exclude guests from the most-online record

When check then its definitely not including the guests, hence the text is correct.
If you experience it otherwise then there is a problem on your side (bug).

Maybe you have unchecked it in the beginning and the record was already saved in your db, then you checked it and now the old record will not be reached anymore?

Quote from Adam Howard

When you check it and when you uncheck it, shouldn't matter. It should work as designed no matter if I use it today or tomorrow.

But that's something different as you described earlier.
If you want to remove the previous record one has to change it in the db to "0" for example.
And then check the box and only registreed users will be counted for the record.

Either we both talk about different things or we totally missunderstand each other....

I'm quite sure I do make sense...
This what you describe here does not make sense at all.

The record is recorded and hence saved in the database.
Only if a (new record = old record +1) happens then it will override the previous record.

Check the box and only registered users will be accounted for the record
Uncheck the box and all users, including the guests will be accounted for the record

If You have unchecked the box, therefore guests are included and have for example a record of 1000 users and then decide ok I onl want to see registered users, check the box then a new record will only be added if 1001 registered members will be online.

I cannot reproduce this...

I suggest the following:

Go to your database and open the following table:
wcf1_option
Look for
users_online_record
and change the optionvalue to: 0

Before you do that you need to be clear what you want, if you want to include guests, uncheck the box, if you want to exlcude check the box.And then lets see if you can reproduce this high number with only registered users

Hm, it seems to be implemented correctly:

See https://github.com/WoltLab/WCF…OnlineList.class.php#L136 & https://github.com/WoltLab/WCF…sOnlineList.class.php#L82

So I don't really know where the behavior you are seeing is coming from. Not from WCF itself.

So far no one can reproduce it.... Unless one cannot reproduce it one cannot fix it (if something needs to be fixed).

Have a look at it the next days...
