I sometimes see that there are more guests than users on the site.
Just wondering why they won't come in?
And with this post I have officially beaten my record of 10 years on the other side.

I sometimes forget to sign on so I am a guest until I post and have to log on. Perhaps that is the same with other folks?

The ProBoards app frequently logs me out and I don't log in again unless I want to post something. I would appear as a "guest" if I'm reading but didn't log in yet. I bet others have the same issue.

I'm the same way. I'm a guest until I want to post, then I log in.

If I'm going to skim through the new threads real quick and not take the time to reply to anything, I don't always log in.

Glad I am not the only one that just reads and goes without always logging in

It's also fairly common with many message boards that there are lots of visitors who never choose to register an account. Many people are more comfortable lurking and observing than actively participating. My site comes up high in search engine results for lots of things related to crochet, so our message board gets many hits by visitors. They may be looking for a particular pattern that a designer has posted on our site, links to other patterns, information about a stitch or technique, etc. Once they get the info they wanted, they don't necessarily want to participate in any conversations. Some may return to read things and never join, while others may join quickly or after they've been returning over and over again for quite some time. I have a feeling that over the years there were many, many non-registered visitors to the NSBR forum on the old Two Peas. Way more than anyone would ever suspect. The NSBR was actually quite fascinating from a sociological/psychological perspective, for those interested in such things. There are also people who love to watch drama unfold wherever they find it, and there was certainly a lot of drama over the years.  |

There have been a few times that Proboards has logged me out, but that hasn't happened for quite a while. Other than other people using your device, why do people purposely log out? I use my phone and my Kindle when I tune in here. Is it unwise to not log out?

My phone logs me out every time. I only log in when I want to post. My computer keeps me logged in, tho.

Somehow I am always signed in. I'm ok with that since I had so much difficulty getting here and signing in initially. I'd be a happy camper if I could figure out how to post an avatar picture.
Since I do all of this on my phone, it's been impossible so far. I know what to do - but it doesn't recognize my username, e mail or password. I pretty much give up.

I hadn't noticed it, but decided to look and see if I was logged in. Of course I wasn't.

I often find myself logged out and only realise when I try to post. Perhaps the guests are all peas who have been logged out.  |

I don't check off the 'remember me' box at sign in, and if I close the tab, even on my pc, it logs me out. I thought the Admin. was going to make this unreadable to non-members....

For some reason I get logged out, and I am too lazy to log in unless I have something to say.

I always assumed there were lots of lurkers at Two Peas, so it really doesn't bother me if there are lurkers at this site.
