Logging in/out?

[lynda66]

i think it's like another site i go on ........ if you are logged in and using the site it shows you as online, if you aren't active for 5 mins it shows you as offline, and logs you out if you log into another pc.

could Andi have logged in from work or something?

Yes ......................But you are not always shown as on line.
Quite often in the "early hours I have been the only one to be shown as a current user.

Have you ever noticed there's a phantom user??!!I've sometimes noticed it'll say 3 members~yet only list 2!~gets a tad bit boring in the early hours!!

Oh yes, you showed me this the other week while we were waiting for the equestrian cross country. freaky. Come on, show yourselves.

Perhaps its the creator!

Had to log in for the first time in months today and then when I clicked on the "new posts" bit it told me that there weren't any. This is clearly rubbish as I've not been logged on since yesterday morning and so when I looked in each of the directories, guess what, there were loads! Couldn't click on unread posts either as it didn't think there were any. Very annoying!

I expect the act of "logging in" was taken to be your "last activity" and thus the New Posts was reset to be anything after that time.

You can use Todays Posts instead, but you won't have the little to jump to the first un-read post in the thread.

I find it annoying too, and as a web site programmer think that this particular aspect is not handled well by the vBulletin forum software.

I think the site logs you out after 10 minutes of inactivity but the page you're seeing on your computer stays as is, so it looks as if you're still online and lit up. If you try to read or do a page refresh it catches up and you're offline

I was baking in the kitchen and computer inactive for way over 10 mins this a.m & no auto logoff~thinking it's down to gremlins!
