Forum 'Viewing' Figures

[humanist]

Nothing to do at this early hour so I was just having a look around the various parts of the forum. I'm a bit puzzled about how the 'viewing' figures work. For example, I was looking at the eBid News & Announcements section. Apparently, there was 29 people viewing this section, me and 28 visitors. But when I viewed the individual threads, there was only myself viewing them. The other 28 were either not actually there, or were all jumping out of each thread just before I got there!

Why would 28 people who are not eBid members be reading eBid News & Announcements at 6am (GMT) anyway?

As Shezz has said probably google spiders.If you click the Quick Links drop down & then Who's Online you can see where they are.It lists the users in alphabetical order & then the guests & spiders.Nosy little blighters aint they!
