    No, this simply means that there won't be session data stored, and the overhead of creating/updating that session data in your database or Redis. Doing this would improve your site's speed and performance for things accessing your site that aren't logged in. Presumably (though I have no idea) these changes would apply to all non-authenticated traffic.

    It would not block or prevent them from crawling your site, nor viewing the content. Just an under the hood optimization

    Ah, okay, that's good to hear.

    To your other questions: I am not using this information for detailed traffic analysis. It´s simply helpful, honest and correct, if in the who´s online view I don´t see 50 different "Guest" listed, but maybe only 30 "Guest" and then additionally some "Google", "Bing", etc. Not only does it tell me as admin and my moderators that there are not actually 50 Guests currently brownsing without requiring the backend or other stats. Also it reminds the members that whatever they write is being observed and tracked and stored by Google and the likes.

    Given that this feature was available before (and later as a market place plugin, which seems to have been removed now) and the fact that this information is being tracked anyway internally, I would like to understand why it can not be made available in the frontend as before. It was just really helpful.

  2. Thanks.

    When you write it "will make most bots never initiate a session" - would that not also prevent bots from search engines like Bing and Google crawling the site and making sure all the content is proberly registered? A lot of traffic on my page is from people having searched for some topic on Google which then lead them to my site.

    Those search engine bots definitely need to be able to crawl the site. For this they will initiate a session. And I'd like to see this in my "Who's online".

    As a user explained above: "Behind the scenes we flag if it's a search engine, but we do not expose this in the interface." I don't quite understand what's so difficult about this then and where exactly the reluctance is coming from.

  3. As the admin I just received a report regarding a posting. It was some comment on what I should add or edit in that posting.

    I then saw that this came from an unregistered guest - but guests can not write in my forum (let alone self-register), they are only supposed to read but not interact in any way.

    How can I stop guests from using the "report" functionility and spam me? I did not find any setting for this.

  4. Hi everyone,

    when I access the statistics area in the backend, the first overview page never shows any info, just keeps endlessly loading (sometimes, I don't even get the checkboxes at the top):

    1.thumb.JPG.eccd5e0f35c8f1484b18556c93f74f5c.JPG

    All the statistic on the further sub-pages (Registrations, Devices, etc) work just fine.

    What might be the reason for this?

  5. Not even one week online and already getting spam via the contact form even though I included the captcha plugin.

    Any tips from the community?

    Also, the default contact form contains the full editor, with embedding of pictures from external platforms, embedding of links, all formatting. Where can I edit this - an external contact form need to have top security and if the anti-spam measures don't work, then at least if should be bare text only. Where can I define the details of the contact form editor?

     

     

  6. HI everyone, I have a question around how to properly write the logic for a translation string. Tricky one. Possibly impossible.

    It's this one: user_other_activity_reply

    The English one is  : %2$s replied to %3$s's %1$s in - it will parse into "X replied to Y's topic in"

    In German it's more difficult. We don't use the apostophe-s - we either simply add the s at the end of the word, OR, if there is already an s at the end, we then add an apostrophe, to indicate the omitting of the last s. So instead of John's we write Johns - and instead of James's we write James'.

    (I guess the above string would translate into "James's" which to my knowledge is actually incorrect as well ... )

    Now I need to change the German string to include this logic: adding either an s or an apostophe, depending on the last letter of Y. Any ideas of how to do this?

    Currently, the German translation string is %2$s antwortete auf %3$s's %1$s in - so I can simply remove the apostrophe, but then the s-edge case is still not covered.

    Andreas
