When I go log into my XOOPS site and i look at the who's online it shows 2 users online but there are only one and thats me.I checked both IPs just incase they are the same so basicly This is what it says

2 user(s) are online (2 user(s) are browsing News)

Members: 1 (Me)
Guests: 1 (Me)

outlaw, more...

It is the same with my "testsite".
It shows 2 users, one online and one guest...
I have reflected upon that too, but I didn't investigate it any further... but if anyone knows...

Hmmm...a couple of things to consider though I dont have an swer (sorry).

1)are you in more than one user group? ie:webmaster and Registered member?

2)what's your caching situation? Do you have sessions enabled?

2)Do you have more than one window open?

It's not entirely uncommon to see yourself (your IP twice)
it just seems to depend on caching: both your sites and your browser.

Well I know that doesnt solve anything but may give you aplace to start from!

1) Only in the admin
2)I believe so
3)Only have one browser open.

It may be not that odd...
Not knowing how this "who's online" works but...
Before you login you are a guest, then you login and become a member.
The module is only aware of what people did just recently, not what they are doing exactly *now*. from the prints (in some access log(?)) it knows that a guest was here some time ago and that a member signed in. maybe the module doesn't remove the guest-entry even if there is a member signed in with the same ip. for what the module knows, you can be using two browsers, one with guest login and one logged in as a member.
And this seems to be true as now when I have been logged in for a while in my system, the guest account is no longer there is has been swapped out from the modules knowing (exceeded any time limit set...), but my member account is still leaving traceable prints whenever a roam the site...

BUT, what do I know... :)

Thanx
