I noticed an anonymous user viewing their "My Home" as seen below via the Who's Online screen. I tried all the utilities under "My Space" and never saw this same message under my own listing in the Who's Online. What is "My Home", and how is an anonymous (not logged in) user gaining access to it?

Dunno. Seems like after you would register and log in, you'd show up in the registered members side of the list, not anonymous side.

I figured out that the "My Watch Lists" calls a routine (in the URL) called myhome. But when I do that myself, the Who's Online screen shows "Private".

Strange.

Welcome aboard by the way.

There's a decent chance of that being a search bot.

agree - it would show up as being there - even if they got a 'you are not authorized to be here' type message.

It's true that even if the user gets a "You do not have permission to access this page.", it will still showup in who's online as their current location, since it just registers the script name for what the user is currently doing.
