Did you upgrade and use Impex to import user information from an old board? That is what caused my problems and I have not been able to figure out how to add a series of conditionals to ignore an issue if the USERID detected before = OLDUSERID as I described here:

When I get time I plan to reprogram this to log hits into the database and then it will be easier for me to control what is reported and how... This is frustrating as this was one of the most useful tools I had on my site!

Does anybody know if I were to change the cookie prefix if that would allow the system to ignore the old cookie on my users computer?

EDIT - NOPE, Changing the cookie prefix did not help either...

You can't get false positives. Since it's enitrely cookie-based, that data has to reside on the same computer - no other way to trigger it.

I hate to tell you but there is a flaw that gives you false positives I know this as I was testing it with my own accounts and got a false positive

testing with your own accounts will give you positive as its cookie based!!!


I have not had any issues with regards to any fales readings from this, i have used it pretty much from the start :)

Once again, this is not possible given how this mod works.

I have a buddy in Bahrain.. and another friend in Philadelphia, and it was saying they were using the same computer. They are on opposite sides of the world.

I understand its cookie based...

I had it on 3.5, then our wonderful host lost everything. We had to start a new forum from scratch (3.6) and I installed it. These two users for example never triggered a false positive, and the day I re-installed this on 3.6 I started getting it. I don't know how or why.

If you had been using it previously - lost everything - reinstalled and then users ended up with different userids than before; then the "old" cookies with their "old" userids would still exist.

right... and in that case it would cause the cookies to report more than one user.

But in this case the two different users kept the same name...

By the way, it doesn't look at userids at all does it?

It only looks at userids as usernames can change; but generally speaking userids never change unless they are logging into other accounts.
