content: Quote from: Whales on November 07, 2015, 09:44:57 amPretty sure you actually have to have some activity (i.e. load a new page) every x minutes otherwise you go from being an 'active' user to offline. So simply leaving the page open 24/7 without reloading it won't clock up any activity.

content: What? I am not there? Surely the time I spend monitoring/maintaining and tuning the server counts?Nah really, it's mostly automated, I wouldn't be doing my job properly if I was on that list.

content: That is correct you have to be "active" to get on that list. The SMF software measures browsing. Not idle time. I have 4 pc's running 24/7 just here in the shop and each one has a EEVBlog page open, not counting the two in the house. So none of that gets measured unless I am actually doing something.Like Dave said, those guys really need a holiday

content: As far as i know you need to load a page every "x" minutes, I think the defaul is 15 minutes so you load a page and are considered online for the next 15 minutes. So simply reading the forum and not posting would count as time online providing a new page loads in less than every 15 minutes or whatever the setting is.

content: Yes it will be, it just counts your activity time.If you look at the bottom of a page somewhere it tells you who has been online in the last "x" minutes, I think that is the time slots it counts in.
