Not sure if this is the correct place for this, but under 6.2, ALL visitors show up in "Who is Online" with the Location of "Private". Some say things like, "Private<Forum Name>" or "Private<something that must be an internal message ID>", but everyone has "Private" in front of their location.
Why is this?? Doesn't seem useful if everyone has it... or am I missing something?

Note the extra slash. That might be confusing things. Go through your config file and look for the trailing / and get rid of it. Then, when the online table updates.... it might just solve the problem.
What it does.... is the extra information typically holds a forum name and post number to process and display the link of what post a person is looking at.
"Private" usually happens when it's confused and outside of the threads directory.
Not sure why it's not processing correctly... I would try fresh copies of online.php, online.tmpl and ubbt.inc.php to see if that solves the problem.
What version of PHP are you running? You might try making a small php script with the following and put it into your ubbthreads directory and see if it prints anything out:
Hmm, interesting. Actually I meant the version of PHP that you are running, not .threads. PHP is only up to 4.3 right now <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />

That'll show you all the PHP Settings... look for the PHP SELF that Rick mentions. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" />
Without being able to look at the phpinfo to find out if PHP_SELF is getting reported correctly by PHP it's hard to say for sure what's going on. You might want to put in a request to your host to check on this since you are unable to do so. That would help so we'd at least know if PHP was reporting correctly.

PHP_SELF has been deprecated in php for the last couple of versions. You will need to replace all references to $PHP_SELF with $SCRIPT_NAME. The phpinfo function has been turned off for security reasons.
Does this mean I am going to have to modify all of my PHP files?
