After receiving reports that the Who Visited Today mod still wasn't working correctly I started testing the new Time Offset alteration.

After a while I realised that you cannot use the forum time offset, as it would course conflict with the dates.

To
test it properly I set the time offset +8 hours, which put my forum
time to 11:55, and at 12:05 it removed all users even ones logged in,
because the dates do not match. The the database had the date
"10/04/2008 3:05pm" but the time offset date becomes "11/04/2008
12:05am". Obviously the mod then thinks that the user visited yesterday
and doesnt show them.

For now I think it is best to keep the
dates in sync and use the server time to compare with the database
which is set using the server time. Because of this I am going to revert
the mod back to version 2.04.

You can re-download the mod from the Who Visited Today page, the reverted version will be named V2.04b as there have been slight alterations by the time offset fix.
