Hi Brian,
Try logging out and then navigating a few pages on the forum, then take a look at the Who's Online page. You should just see one entry - also, you should see something like "guest=12345" in the URL. Gossamer Forum assigns each guest a guest ID, then they use that to move around. This is how it keeps track of guests. Going by IP alone isn't always reliable - for example, our office goes through a single firewall and so everyone here shows up with the same IP. It could be that someone just made numerous multiple entries in the forum. Give it a try yourself (browsing as a guest), while logged out, and see if multiple entries show up for you in Who's Online.
