fake guest viewer(s)

A hack that makes it look like you have guests viewing your board. Possible?

You could edit the index.php file and do a php rand on the whos online...

Could I do that too if I wanted to make it look like other members were online?

Change the cookie refresh rate. This will hold the length of time members and visitors are removed from the current users list.

^^^^

How would I do that, I there a way i could set it for 24 hours?

vBulletin Options, Cookies and HTTP header options, Time-out for cookie. I think this is normally set at 900 seconds (15 minutes) so you could change it to 87000 which is just over 24 hours.

Your Welcome. This tip is pretty nice for people with new boards and not alot of members. It gives the illusion that you board is a little more popular than what it might actually be. You will really notice the guest count go up as SE's crawl your site.
