    Ross,

    I think I mentioned something similar to you on Saturday. We've had a very unusual concentration of guests viewing the C&H forum tonight. I've a screen-shot here that shows 164 guests, but that number jumped as high as 194 a few minutes later. It currently stands at 2 members, 184 guests viewing the Clearasil & Hormones forum.

    We have a regular user-group of about 90 people, so to get this many viewers at this time of night is weird!

    Just thought it should be flagged for attention.

    I've been trying to track this down this week, but I haven't found anything yet.

    Isn't this caused by search engines?

    Probably not. All the major search engines are actually quite good about using cookies and/or session IDs to avoid doing that.

    Hmmm, just looking at C&H now and it stands at 1 member and 177 guests viewing. That is a terribly unusual number of guests to be viewing the forum and again, especially at this time of night.
