Question to Web Team

[NUMBY]

How come when you check to see who is using the forums...it lists some people as members and some as guests..What makes them different?

------------------
Anything i say in the forums is my opinion and does not reflect my department or any organization i belong to.

Unless someone has either a) logged in or b) posted or replied to a message or c) has been to and registered for the forums and has the cookie working and enabled on their end (which can be flaky sometimes), they are logged in as a guest.

For the majority of visits to the forums, most are likely by people who are not members and have not registered but like to browse the posts. We estimate the ratio of members to non-members is 10-1 or higher.

Thanks!
