What's the :
'Most users ever online was x,xxx, Today at y:yy AM.'
line doing?

It's up and down like a yo-yo, and seems to be mirroring (maybe with a bit of delay) the current situation at any moment.

Weird ...


And why is what appears to be a 'random' username (I've seen 5 so far) appearing 'out of position' as the first entry in the list of users logged on?

ETA: Well, this bit seems to be back as it should be now.

ETA2: Spoke too soon .. back to random. :(

Most odd ...

    It has been like that since that attack on the servers a couple of weeks ago.
    The total seems to be a daily thing now rather than the actual maximum number of visits at any given time.

    Not sure about that.
    At some point since then it seemed to go back to something resembling normality. But I haven't checked it constantly.
    And the 'most users' total number is going up or down almost every time you refresh the screen.

    ETA: Actually, the 'most users' total seems to vary more than the 'current' total, but generally matches it after a few seconds.
    (Still not worked out quite what is being displayed.)
