Fake members / users online

Is the kind of thing in the above link available for v5 forums?

It seems like a sensible idea to promote member registration.

Just bumping this because I'd like to see something like this for V5 as well.

anybody help?

would like to see this too.. maybe a plugin job tho not a template mod

10 days and no Proboards response?

Not really a reflection of the wonderful support I've received with everything else here.

There is a limited amount of coders available, around 6 i think i read in a previous post.

i have an alternative to make your forum "seem" more busy than it actually is to guest's with a template code like so:

But When i register/login the truth reveals its self!

Cheers Tugs. Appreciate the response.
Will take a look. I've had a few evenings where I've had a large number of online guests recently. First 35, then 60+. Could be legit readers, but I figured many where bots, but do they hunt in packs like that?

Yea they do is more than likely google indexing your forum
