Guests on private threads?

Laurel, no one but registered members can see our private threads. I've tested this many, many times. There is a dashboard type of indicator that shows how many people are on the whole site but they cannot "follow" you specifically unless they are reading your posts in a public area.

So... please help me understand if I'm missing something.

That's just Joomla's way of informing you who's on the site. I'm sure we can turn it off altogether (or hide the dashboard) if people would prefer that. I find it sort of useful myself, but YMMV.

???

But, Laurel, you pretty clearly said you thought guests were reading our private threads.....

I'm confused.

I'll find out from Tom Otvos exactly what the footer stuff is telling us. He's the Joomla/Kunena expert and configured this place to begin with. I just poked around in the admin modules and see nothing at all that even refers to this issue.

So.... the "who's viewing" data is part of the breadcrumbs module here on this forum. It's context sensitive as far as I can tell, but I cannot re-configure it based on my investigation. I can only show it, or hide it. I think it's fine being shown because (in my view) it tells me where I am in the menu system or on the site in general. I'm not sure the "who's viewing" display is exactly correct because it does show "guest" viewers in private threads where we KNOW they cannot see the comments. It may be showing us guests at a higher level in the menu system, or it may just be full of shit. I really don't know and I think I'd be wasting my time were I to dig any further
