Hey Jim,

I noticed the callsigns displayed on the underside of the pages.
I like it very much! Now I can directly see who's online.

But I noticed I'm 'not always there', even when I'm busy typing messages or scrolling through the forums. I would say I'm online at that moment, but I'm not according to the list. Just a few minutes later my callsign is displayed again. I guess I'm not the only one, so that means members that are online are not always mentioned 'online' in the list.
Is there a reason for it?

It's not a great thing, I just noticed it and I'm just curious

Hmm....well I am always there.

It may just be an issue where you "time-out" and have to be restored to the online sessions table. For example...

1. Start visit at site: Page does not display your name as arriving at that page has added your name to session table but you need to then visit a NEW page to see your name listed.

OR

2. You stay on one page so long that your session times-out. Thus you have to go through step one as if you had left and are now returning.

Just a thought.

It's not necessary to log off....... I rarely ever do, unless I want to check the site, and how it looks to non members.

Aha (again...)

That time-out would be indeed the reason. I'm not always that fast writing my comments beause I still have an English dictionary on my table to look words up :-) :-) :-)

Thanks all for your comments and answers!

Hey Jim,

Facing the 'problem' tonight again. Posted a message in a thread on the Junk Drawer forum. My name was not in the list while reading the thread, nor during my reply and also not after subscribing to it.

So, I did had an active session with some "page refresh moments" but my name did not show up during all those actions.
Also now; when typing this; no name...

As I said before: It's not a great thing. But it keeps facinating me why it does not show up.

Perhaps it's because of my callsign: 007... I'm always undercover :-)

Paul
