AI Thread Summary
The "Recent Visitors" feature appears to be malfunctioning, as users report that while visitor counts increase, the displayed names do not change. It is suggested that the stats may not update in real-time, leading to confusion about visitor identity. Some users speculate that repeated visits from the same individuals could explain the static names despite rising visitor numbers. Additionally, there is a discussion about whether guest visitors are included in the count, with mixed opinions on their impact. Overall, the feature's functionality remains a topic of curiosity and debate among users.

The "Recent Visitors"

Hey there,

Is the "Recent Visitors" thing in the profile broke? I just noticed it seems this way :)
 
Physics news on Phys.org
What is wrong about it?
 
Well it looks like it doesn't update the visitors. I've been noticing that while the amount of visitors go up, the names doesn't change.

PS: And I'm always curious about who visits ^^

This is a simple brain teaser that you should be able to solve on your own :-p

Could be that stats are not updated in the real time, but it doesn't mean what you see is wrong.
 
If it's the same people visiting your page over and over your view count will go up, but it only shows each visitor's name once.

Got stalkers? :eek:
 
I prefer to see them as fans :biggrin:

However I just realized that it actually works! What about "guests", people with no account. Do they count also?

Yes they are your fans :)

Guest impressions do not count.
 
Invisible visitors are another possibility.

Just tested it, and they do count (unless 4 members visited my profile exactly in sync with my page reloads :p).

Interesting, thanks for the test
