Thats a bit strange.

OK, so I got into work, logged onto my PC, fired up the BW forums, and loitered in General. As per usual.

Got called onto a job, so right at this moment Im in a different office, using a different pc, which I havnt logged on (its a generic login thing). Browse my way to the BW forums while I wait, cos Ive got catching up to do. Note: I am still logged into the forums on my PC, so at the moment Im not registered (are you following??)

Check all the names and see that my name isnt listed!! Whys that then??

Presumably there's a timeout of ~5mins or so, on the online/browsing status...

omg - I time out ???

:uhoh:

Presumably they can only tell if you're online if you request a page. So if you don't request a page for a few minutes, it assumes you've gone offline.

Or have I just stated the blindingly obvious?
