Is there a mod or a way to have the "Currently Active Users" ONLY show the actual users that are currently logged in and NOT show all of the guests?

The reason for my queston: We have over 300 guests on at any given time! So it makes the numbers look a little funny. When I look at who they are many are spiders and bots.

Any suggestions would be very helpful! Remember I am really new at this stuff so could you go easy on me?

THANKS!

So you don''t want to show the guests at all at the online area?

Go to Acp-Style Manager-Edit Templates-FORUMHOME and change the following code:

<!-- logged-in users -->
			<div id="wgo_onlineusers" class="wgo_subblock">
				<h3><img src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_misc}/users_online.png" alt="{vb:rawphrase currently_active_users}" />{vb:rawphrase currently_active_users}</h3>
				<div>
					<p>{vb:rawphrase there_are_x_online, {vb:raw totalonline}} <span class="shade">{vb:rawphrase x_members_and_y_guests, {vb:raw numberregistered}, {vb:raw numberguest}}</span></p>
					<p>{vb:rawphrase most_users_ever_online_was_x_y_at_z, {vb:raw recordusers}, {vb:raw recorddate}, {vb:raw recordtime}}</p>
					<ol class="commalist" id="wgo_onlineusers_list">
						{vb:raw activeusers}
					</ol>
				</div>
			</div>
			<!-- end logged-in users -->

To the following:

<!-- logged-in users -->
<div id="wgo_onlineusers" class="wgo_subblock">
				<h3><img src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_misc}/users_online.png" alt="{vb:rawphrase currently_active_users}" />{vb:rawphrase currently_active_users}</h3>
				<div>
					<p>{vb:rawphrase there_are_x_online, {vb:raw totalonline}} <span class="shade">{vb:rawphrase x_members_and_y_guests, {vb:raw numberregistered}}</span></p>
					<p>{vb:rawphrase most_users_ever_online_was_x_y_at_z, {vb:raw recordusers}, {vb:raw recorddate}, {vb:raw recordtime}}</p>
					<ol class="commalist" id="wgo_onlineusers_list">
						{vb:raw activeusers}
					</ol>
				</div>
			</div>
			<!-- end logged-in users -->

Then go to Languages and Phrases, make a search for

$vbphrase[x_members_and_y_guests]

and change the text from

 {1} members and {2} guests

to

{1} members

Hope it helps.
