Pete Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 Every time I log onto the forum I see my name in the active users list and also in the live chat active users list, even though I am not on the live chat. Is there a reason for this or is it normal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Millne Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 The live chat active users list will show people active in there in the last 60 minutes (changing to 10 shortly) so even if you are not currently in chat if you have been in the last 60 minutes you will still show. If you definately haven't been in chat at all then it may be a bug, I'll check it out in any case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

threegee Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 If you previously visited and you left chat in a tab - even though that tab is not visible in the foreground and you've never read it - then the board will register you live in chat because your browser refreshed that tab when you started your computer up. The board has no way of finding out if it was you or your browser unaided that requested the chat page.A 10 minute rule would cause much of that problem to go away.

Cympil Posted September 3, 2009 Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 I`ve noticed this happening to me too. I`m always `in Live Chat` when i sign into the forum, even though i haven`t been near it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
