So I installed the Who Visited Today plugin with no issues and it works fine and may have had nothing to do with this, but I didn't check if this happened before that. The guests can view the Who's Online area just fine, but it always only shows that 1 guest is viewing the forum, despite who might actually be on. The URL is wepcgame.com/forum and the installation is new except for a few minor modifications.
Some screenshots:

I can, if needed, post any code that might be relevant; thank you in advance.
Edit: after another user signed on I re-checked. As a guest I was able to see them but the Administrator account was still hidden; I confirmed neither my user settings or group settings were hiding the account from the list.
give a test user account so that someone can check it

On my site guest can't see neither. I think this started to happen after I installed My Advertisement today. I deactivated it but its still the same.
Plz provide test user account

Here, Username: Test
Password:testaccount
Edit: Just like what the OP said, I made my moderator login and guest can see him. They can see him but not regular members and admin.
Have you tried testing from another IP? I ran into the same issue with my forum, and it turns out MyBB clears out old sessions from the same IP when a new session is created, so it appears that the admin account is hidden if you check from another browser as a guest.
Have you tried checking from a proxy such as icyproxy.com to see if this is the issue?

I'll try, but that was my theory too. So how do you like my new Mybb forum?

Send me a link and I'll check it out.
Yup you're right Darth, I did check from another IP and I can see everyone. Weird cause I use to check from another browser and I can see everyone before.
Glad that seemed to have solved the issue. I guess it's not really a bug, but it does seem to confuse a lot of people who pay attention to that sort of thing.
