4.4 - So many guests!

[abetts]

My most online which has stood for 4 years was beaten on Sunday morning. Was about 1,600 before, we had 3,600 online on Sunday! 

Right now I've over 400 guests showing, Google Analytics realtime really disagrees with this.

Cloudflare bots.

Makes sense, I do use Cloudflare, thanks. There is a lot of them though!!

I use Invision Cloud for my forum and since the update, my online users has tripled. Its been constant for 2 years and the tripling have only happened since the upgrade. 

Anyone know what I should do. 20 users and 40 guests is not good.

I am seeing similar behavior ...

[Large Scale Planes]

Yes, same here. Our guest count is now consistently 3-4x what it was prior to the upgrade. Not using Cloudflare. I'm seeing other issues too, but I'll post them elsewhere.

We did push out a patch with the full release of 4.4.0 that included some minor changes related to this (if it's applicable to your community, you can apply it via the Support page, selecting 'something isn't working').

There is an outstanding issue where the "who's online" widget may show the wrong number of guests, this should however be resolved in 4.4.1.

Left: how it’s been before 4.4
Middle: 4.4 beta and final
Right: 4.4 with latest patch. 

It’s still significantly over the values before 4.4.

Shucks... I was getting excited by the increase in Guests today after updating to 4.4.

Knew it was too good to be true. 🙂
