Users Online suggestion

I think the Users Online is set to where it shows everyone who was online the forum in the past hour. I really do think that it needs to be changed, because it's hard to tell whether or not who's actually online or who was online an hour. Maybe you guys should change it to 1 - 5 minutes; it would seem a bit convenient.

How did you know it was 60 minutes? I forgot about this setting long ago. But yea, if majority wins, i dont mind changing it.

Add a poll please.

Because I've done the same thing for ForuMansion back when ForuMotion first enabled that feature, and I forgot all about it, lol. Luckily, a member suggested the idea on the forum a couple of weeks ago, and now I can see why no one would respond to my PMs until after a few hours. Why wouldn't they respond? Because they weren't necessarily online at the moment. They were logged in an hour ago, and then logged off, yet it still displayed them as if they were logged in considering the hour setback.

Hmm, good point. I'm all in for this.

im with ya on this

I voted yes, this would be a helpful feature.

My vBulletin3 has the Currently Active Users display set at 15 minutes, which is the default. I think this is a fair amount of time.

I agree with Kevin (^the person above me^). maybe around 10-15 minutes will be best. ^^

4 yes, 0 no! Final decision will be made in 2 days!

10-15 minutes would be too long. That's the same length of time that I could be waiting for my mom to get out of the tanning bed.

5 mins is better

Yeah, well I wanted to change it but forgot about it. But it`s definitely a yes from me.

EDIT: I mean it is a "w00t" from me.

This will probably get accepted. However, we have to work out how many minutes we should set it as.

Accepted, locked

The amount of time that should be set is now being discussed with the rest of the staff. Stay tuned!
