Blessed Time-

Just an FYI....

Even if Firefox keeps you "logged in" - you are not necessarily known to be logged in by the MB site. If you aren't online, the site cannot tell if you are logged in or not....the site puts what is called a "cookie" on your computer that communicates with the site when you view the web pages....does that make sense?

So the who's online thingie ought to be accurate.

Now if you, like me, were to open up multiple windows and browse different websites simultaneously, then the website will think I am reading here, when I may actually be booking flights, buying stuff on Ebay, or finding a Russian bride. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />


Just kidding...

[color:"navy"]Travellinman...actually what you said does make sense.

I just checked 'Main Index' and it says 40 are viewing.
If it said all that were 'logged on', the number would be much greater. (And the other boards have just a few so it must know how to count the viewers for this General Questions board seperately.)

So what you are saying about 'cookies' makes sense!~lol~

However, we don't have that feature that says WHO is logged on, do we?
I think I noticed it the first day or two.

And I, like you, leave and go check email, so I imagine it would show I am still 'viewing'? Not sure, can't peek cause then I would be back viewing!~<img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />~

Thanks for the info...

I tried what 'down but trying' recommended but it still didn't show (for me) any names in 'Who is online'.
