Who is online?
Who is online?
It has always puzzled me why there are always so many “users” online ?
I know it is the best site on the web, but so many visitors ?

Re: Who is online?
Well, I'm a rather new user, but, you will always find my status as "online."
I don't sign in/out for a forum like this.
Why, you may ask?
Because I'm not worried about someone sitting down at my computer, checking into this forum, and sell my whole collection for 15 pounds or something.
Point is, the "online" status may not reflect the actual amount of people currently on the forum.

P.S. How do you get the "pound" sign on a standard keyboard?

Re: Who is online?
Yes, we call it a "pound sign," but it also is shorthand for "number," as in "#3," which you would read as "number 3."
Example "John Smith, 2001 Blues Lane #3, Lakeside, New Jersey, 10441
That would read "unit 3" or "apartment number 3" etc.

On some US keyboard macbooks, shift will give a £ sign, but this will depend upon the keyboard settings in System Preferences.

Re: Who is online?
Wow, there are more page hits from Iran than Holland........maybe there is a love of historical machines there, unless some other odd content that gets picked up

Re: Who is online?
There were 5,018 more hits (visits) from Holland than Iran, but the Iranians viewed 233 more unique pages. I can only guess their interest was less 'focussed'.
