I have my board closed and currently there are 16 members viewing parts of the forum. How can that be? They should be seeing "no permissions" but instead they are in the forums reading the articles.
When you close the board the end user wouldn't see "error_no_permission" page. That's why they're showing as reading those areas, however they're not viewing those areas/sections.
Okay .. but when I log out... I am only seeing the admin. message.. I cannot view the board unless I log in.. so why does it show they are reading the thread? I am just trying to understand.. is all
its because the session code is still run. if they are coming from a bookmark or external link to a specific page, then they will be shown as visiting those pages, but they are getting the closed notice
Now I understand...thank you pavemen.!
