Title: Who's Online Oddity

Yeah, I was looking at it, and Takuthehedgehog's name came up three times. I didn't know what was up with it, or if possibly dynamic IPs get represented multiple times but meh. Just throwing that out there in case something is wrong.

PS:I've seen this happen a few times before, but the name appears 2 times not 3.

You can't log in more than once on another machine if I'm not mistaken, so that shouldn't matter at all. But I'll see if I can. *tests*

EDIT: tested; doesn't duplicate the names that way.

Post by: 4Sword on October 07, 2008, 07:16:03 am: I have noticed that on some occasions, and this is easier to see on a board that is scarcely populated at a time, but when you are navigating through topics in some instances it will say a guest is viewing the last topic you viewed or rather that your last action is getting replicated by a guest. I also saw that Takuthehedgehog was capable of doing another action while the other two accounts just idled into oblivion. I'm aware that you cannot log in more than once on another machine though - it just updates with your new IP to the Who's Online list or your old one stays until the list itself is refreshed.
