Replacing "Guest" with "Username" in who's online where IP is of a known User.

[glensmail]

When a user is browsing the forums but not logged in "Who's Online" shows them as a guest, A quick search for IP in the Admin CP normally reveals them as a User and shows there username.

Would it be possible to automatically make this search and replace "Guest" with the Username/s (may be more than 1 if the IP is shared) on who's online?

Possible: Yes.
Advisable: No!

It would put a very heavy load on your server, and more then 1 member could have the same IP.

I can vouch for that... I have 3 members on my forum that all use the same connection, hense the same IP. there would be no way to tell the 3 users apart if it was to 'asume' who it was
