Hi there.
Lately, I've spent more time in hospital than at home .I'm OK . I have noticed that someone is using my password . when I enter the forum, being not logged in, my avatar appears in "Who's Online ? " statistical. I'm not sure if this is an error, but these last days, the number of members logged in, has reached more than 200 ... perhaps because we are in Holy Week. Is this coincidence?, Or a claim to any purpose?

Cheer.

If in doubt, change your password.

Here is an explanation provided by the forum developer.

I stated:

Quote: "Quite a number of forum visits indicated by the statistic footer web page element."

He stated

Quote: "I have to admit to this being my fault It is one of my new forum updates to give a better idea of who is online the old system was super buggy and didn't actually show who was online."


The forum thread

However I am uncertain as to why your name is in the online list if you actually logged off.

Glad to know you are OK.

I hope everything's ok
I hope you don't mind me asking, but what happened?

The massive number of users logging in got discussed in this thread:
http://forum.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&t=210747&b=2
Looks like it was down to The Next, although I'm still not totally clear if there actually are that many people logging in or not

Edit - Chris beat me! I need to type faster...

Stay well, Chafari... I plan on picking your brain for years to come!!

If you are having autoimmune problems, look into probiotics.
If you're having infection issues, I've heard good things about colloidal silver. For pneumonia, try zinc, and a very important mineral for heart and muscle regulation is magnesium!

(Just my 2 pesos!)

This turns you blue after prolonged use. Just like this guy:

LoL.. that's an extreme exaggeration, as colloidal silver is sold regularly on the market. Amazon carries several varieties, so where are the droves of blue people? =)

The guy above did it for publicity, and he got it. He did it by ingesting molecules of silver that were too large.

Cowboys used to put silver dollars in their canteens because of its antibacterial properties. (Kept the water fresh.)

Royalty were often called "Bluebloods" because using real silverware every day turned the tips of their noses blue because of the large molecules of silver they ingested... yet they were in excellent health compared to the poor, even though medicine then was nothing near what it is today.

Colloidal silver in the right infusion is safer than antibiotics, because antibiotics kill every living thing in your gut, good and bad. If infused in the right amount it won't turn you blue, since it's not intended for every day use anyway.

That's the primary cause of aging.

Very true - but I've managed to avoid extended hospital visits so far. Hope yours continue to be successful.

As I haven't got a smartphone I'd better avoid that particular hospital.

No doubts....there's an annoying error in the logged user count. The first time I realized of that was as I commented when I was out in hospital, and with my phone in a wifi zone not being loged in. Now I'm at my neighbor house, and made a test in his PC. That is what I saw in the logged count:





Some will say that that's wrong with this .Imagine that someone asks us for advice , when they see that we are logged in, but we give not answer. would give the impression that we do not answer because we are rude . The truth is that I do not see any advantage to this forum upgrade .
