Private Forum has Ghost Visitors displayed via [XX Viewing) on forumhome

[SighK]

Hi guys,

Changed the location of my Staff Forum from middle of the forum to the bottom of the forum by simply changing which Forum Heading it falls under.

As soon as I did this on forum home it said

Staff Room (16 Viewing)

Even though I was the only Moderator on a the time. I have also throughly checked permissions and logged out checked via Guest setup a Registered Account tried accessing the forum via URL and what no but it doesn't let me.

I disabled All Plugins and Hooks and it still showed (XX Viewing) The private forum.

To confirm the Permission settings are all correct and I have tested it just have no idea why it is showing people viewing a totally hidden forum with correct permissions via forum permissions...

If a user tries to view that forum they will still show as viewing it, but on WOL it will show a ! or X sign saying they cannot view it as they lack the permission, or are not logged in.

Tried that too mate. No one in the WOL was trying to view the forum except for my test account I setup. Also please note that this forum is hidden from the main board and only shows up to Moderators everyone else does not see the link on forum home.

I believe it should show users viewing threads there as well, though I could be wrong about that.

Nah I checked that too I went through every thread Registered or Guest Members where viewing and clicked through and NONE of the threads being Viewed via WOL was a forum within the hidden and private moderator forum.

This was happening to another forum until I moved the moderator forum below this other forum now it has an accurate number of people viewing it meanwhile the moderator forum does not.

This is also happening with my second forum and again, it's always happening to the very last forum on forum home.
