Ticket: https://tracker.phpbb.com/browse/PHPBB3-14623
The f parameter in the URL appears to be only needed to account for users who are browsing a specific forum and show them in the who is online list of the specific forum.
Still, it is possible that there are users who don't use the f parameter, mainly because the canonical URL doesn't have it. So they won't appear in the who is online list.
Can anyone think of a solution?
To show those users and count the visitors without the f parameter, so as to finally remove it.

Re: "Ghost users" - not displayed in the who is online list
Does anyone know where I would have to look in the code if I want to try to fix it?
Re: "Ghost users" - not displayed in the who is online list
not precisely but you could start in viewtopic.php and work from there

Does anyone know where exactly the "who is online" users are accounted for?
The viewtopic.php is chaotic so I thought I'd try my luck with a smaller chunk of code first...

It is actually generated from includes/functions.php within the page_header function.
