question for Wally regarding # of logged in members listed at bottom of window

Generally I do not log out from one visit to another on this forum. I just viewed some threads, made a reply to one of them, and looked at the bottom of the window and it does not show me logged on. Why?
How many others registered users are logged in and not represented in this listing?
Does it only show up to a set number of users and no more, or should it list every single user currently logged in? Please tell us how it works. Thank you.

Don't we run the risk of visitors thinking that perhaps this forum does not have very many registered members, or that even its members don't participate in this forum, so why should they even visit, much less join?

Yeah I noticed that too, so if you click the refresh doodad at the top of your screen it does show As Logged in, Ok

ncwayne,

I'm not sure how it works but sometimes it takes a few page views or page refreshings before the Phorum scripts log you in. Sometimes, it picks you up on the first page you visit (?).

...if you have not put a check mark in the box for "Allow other users to see when I am logged in"

Navigate to "Control Center"

Click on '"Edit my privacy options"

And place a check mark in the box next to "Allow other users to see when I am logged in"

Of course, you still may not show as logged in at times, depending on the forum software, but you almost certainly will not be shown as logged in if you don't grant permission to do so via the check mark.

Yeah I did that but sometimes I am invisible too, But that could be my lazy internet speed, It does not tell me when people post either

Mine never shows me when I'm logged in...???

Then some on here show logged in constantly...??

I only log on a couple times a day then sometimes I can go 3 or 4 days without even looking usually.. so it may need to be logged in longer then maybe 2 or 3 minutes to make it show up.I just log in to post or answer a P.M. most all my activity is done from my phone then I log back off..

If I compose a post I do it offline then just log on and paste it..that's why I misspell so many words lol...the spell checker on my phone does anything it wants..

Might be browser type?
