Site info block user count doesn't match forum user count

Hi all,

I've just launched a website called Game Swap Ireland

On the left of the site I have the User Info block active (I called it Site Visitors) and I have the Forums module active on the home page also.

When you go to the home page, the user count for the online users at the bottom of the forums is totally different to the count given in the Site Info block, although they are both runing from the root page (Have a look at the site to see what I mean)

Is this a bug, or am I doing something wrong ?

Thanks !

If this is what I think it is, the forum count shows the number of people actually in the forum module as it's a phpbb function, whereas the nuke info block is the global user count on the site.

But the Forum is on the home page; there is no other site content really...

Current ly the forums module (on the home page) says:
In total there are 2 users online :: 1 Registered, 0 Hidden and 1 Guest

The User Info Block says:
People Online:
Visitors: 4
Members: 4
Total: 8

There shoul dnot be that much of a discrepancy.

Also, the Members onlne, doesn't really seem to embty out.

At one stage I emptied the nuke_sessions table and the went to the site, then the User Info and the Forums matched (just me online)
