I have noticed that sometimes when a member is shown as logged on in the board stats section at the foot of the index page, the same member is not shown in the IP log.

Any thoughts.

Hmmm,
The only explanation I can think of, that guests came within the 5 minutes of the user refreshing the page, and knocked him off the first page of the IP log.

note that the IP Log is only updated for the index.php (and register.php?)

And the whose online is updated everytime the user visited any new page.

Ah, OK.  Thanks that would probably explain it.

You can change that if you wish, however, I believe the ip log would become unless, because it would reach it's max size, and data would refresh the ip log several times over in a single day, unless you wrote to the ip log on the first visit, and tracked the user for that one session. But there are ways to get around this, so Im not sure it would be very useful.

Im happy to leave it as it is.....  It was more of an observation really.
