I don't know how to answer this question. I read at the bottom of my forum that there were 208 users online, I clicked on the highlighted in red, 208 users online, and was directed to the page that reflects the IP address for each user. All were my IP address.

Also, I could see that each forum had a number of people reading posts.
What
You say to turn off s-o-m, to see what happens, what would I then do to protect myself from spammers on my site at that time.

In plugging and products disable. You are only testing, so you can enable it again. Now select "who's online" and see if they all show the same IP. They shouldn't all be the same, although you may see a few with the same.

What mod did you use to view last time? I'm on a cell phone so I can't view the actual forum. I turned that feature off. I also do not use taptalk or forum runner. Mods do not work with them.

Edit: got online and saw the forum. I see what you are saying you clicked that was in red. That should take you to the "who's online" area. Right now you have nobody viewing the forum, so wait until you have 5 to 20 people viewing the site.
