just wanted to let you know that "guests" does not just reflect those that are non members. it is also the members that have not logged in....

example I show up as part of the "guest" count when I am reading with out logging in.

not sure but guest count ...may..... also include the members that have chosen to set their profiles as invisible\unseen even when the member is logged in.

example I have my profile set so that I do not show that I am logged in. I prefer people to not know exactly when I am logged in as I tend to come and go depending upon my work schedule and family life, and some members may be sensitive to members who they see logged in one moment and off line the next, then back on again. sometimes mental disorders have a paranoid symptom where when they see someone popping on and off line they wonder and take it personally. this way my coming and going from the site constantly some days when I have slow then busy moments wont affect others.

my point its good that you are encouraging non members to join, but wanted you to know the Guest count may not be accurately reflecting ....just .......non members.
Thanks for this!
