Why is everyone viewing attachment?

[st39.6]

This keeps me wondering for a damn long time. Everytime I go into "who´s online" page, I see someone´s status is:

Viewing attachment
Test go away

What does that mean? Is everyone really hanging around that thread EVERY TIME? Is it some code mistake? Who would be viewing that thread??!! I´ve never been there myself!
I really need to know the answer ... like now

I don't get it!!

[st39.6]

well neither do I.

You were there few mins ago too. Just tell me, were you in that thread? (Test go away). Coz if you wasnt, there´s sure some mistake. I saw you there in "who´s online"

Basicaly what I´m saying is that everytime I go to "who´s online" (you know that place where you see who´s doing what), I see someone who has status
Viewing attachment in Test go away thread.

Since Test go away thread is thread with attachments for sigs, I´d say there´s that mistake. .... instead of showing where the person really is, it shows that the person sees some of these attachments (=he sees someones signature)

I was in there to take a look see right after reading this thread to see what you are talking about and then I posted my reply that I didn't understand.

but I saw u there BEFORE the post

JP, seriously, I need to know ....

There must be a mistake somewhere.
I don't remember checking that thread for ages.

[st39.6]

Yeah but I see poeple there really almost EVERY time I come into who´s online....I´d say it has something to do with signatures, but ... hey, just a guess

[Jean-Pierre Bazinet]

That might be it.
Since a lot of users have their sig's in there, the forum pulls it up everytime one of their posts is viewed, so it thinks the user is viewing that thread.

well ... the thread has 32 000 views .... which is pretty lot, but I wouldnt say enought to what I see every day...
