What keeps happening to them? <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->
The board by default hands a session to every person (guest or not), when the database table that holds the session becomes saturated it starts to disallow people. A simple fix is to make it so the board does not hand out sessions to the guests (As this can be used as a DoS attack anyway)
Helped out some people who run a phpBB board to make the board immune to session DoSs, and would be happy to check out the source for InvisionBoard and send whomever admins it a patch to help with session management.
Yep Dr, that's what we indeed did. It has the unfortunate side effect to not show how many guests are viewing the forums, but it's worth it. Thanks to Ryan Maulding for the fix!
