You've gotta boot the guests...

... The forums is breaking again. There are 360 odd "guests". Is there a way to boot them? Does it assume that each tab is a guest? Does everyone have multiple forum tabs?

Is this a problem with the site, the software, the server?

Because they are not really guests, but computer artifacts that slow down loading.

I mean the ones that aren't real guests.

So Shades, is there a ruling on disinviting the unreal guests? :lol:

Every time I opened a new tab, the # of guests increased by 3 - 5. When I closed them all, it went down by about 40. So that appears to be part of the problem.

Maybe need a notice to ask people to close excess tabs.
