It's not a big issue but this page has an off by one bug .
Edit: Seems like it might be timing related. When I checked it again the counter was ok.

Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place.
Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you are, by
definition, not smart enough to debug it.

I did the screen dump some time ago but forgot to post it...
This is what it looks like in IE8

Really?
I thought it's just a zip code of a part of Hanover, Germany!
That's because you quoted me before I edited my post to display the CIA data feed. Inline [ATTACH] tag seems to has a will of its own. A will of its own I tell you!!!
Hmm, could it mean that all these vBulletin developer are "hidden" MSFT co-workers?
LOL.
Anyway, about "Who's Online": It does have the count bug - I just checked, and it was off by 2.
Also, when I "Reply With Quote" on this forum, I keep getting the "Leave Page" message box...

AFAICT this box always pops up when I click any link (including buttons) before the page has completed loading. To me this happens just rarely and only is a minor annoyance, but it may make some users develop the habit of carelessly always hitting ok on the box, perhaps eventually when there actually are unsubmitted changes.
I was thrown out of college for cheating on the metaphysics exam; I looked into the soul of the boy sitting next to me.
This is a snakeskin jacket! And for me it's a symbol of my individuality, and my belief... in personal freedom.
To describe the issue a bit better: the reply box appears, but when I try to submit, I get the "leave page" question, and after that I'm taken to the advanced post editor, but the post is already submitted (so I have to ignore the page, in order to avoid double posting).

Actually, I never experienced what you describe myself until I submitted that post #190. With a bit of variation: I got the "leave page" box twice and neither got the "double post ignored" warning message nor actually produced a double post. (I'm not entirely sure whether I actually ended up in the advanced editor with that post - I may mix that up with another post I made, but I really think I did.)

Oh, there's no "double post ignored" warning message - i just meant that I have clink on a link that leads back to the forums, and not on the submit button. I knew that some users reported similar problems before, so when it happened I checked if the post was already published. Didn't test what would actually happen if I did click the submit button on the advanced editor page, but, gonna test now...
Edit: Was gonna test now, but it didn't happen...
Edit1: Apparently, I can't reproduce it...

Oh, there's no "double post ignored" warning message [...].
We both didn't get it in the concrete scenario discussed here, but there is one. More exactly (though still not entirely exact/complete), the message reads "this post is identical to one you just submitted a few minutes ago...". I have encountered that myself a few times, as well as having seen reports of it from other users.

I tried to reproduce it by replying to one of my own posts in the Testing Area but couldn't either.

Confirmed. (Don't see any potential relation to the number of open browser tabs, though.)
