Nudecacher Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 At the bottom of the Groundspeak Forums page upon entering it appears to give a count. I've been watching this number for two months and it never changes. Is there a bug here that nobody ever notices or am I missing something? I haven't paid attention to the other information, so I don't know if it has the same story.

Don't quote me but I seem to remember its something to do with rebooting to change it, maybe not. Its been a long time and I might be totally wrong Link to comment
+Team GPSaxophone Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 Micro$oft would call it a "feature" and introduce the patch to correct it in a new box available at midnight at your local computer store... Link to comment

Jeremy Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 It isn't a glitch in the software. It is how we manage the account database in the forums. We don't recalculate that number every time a new member enters the forums. Instead we occasionally update the number. The number doesn't really reflect a whole lot of anything really. It neither reflects the total number of users nor the current number of users in the forums. Link to comment
