Well, its about 9 hours since my previous visit. I checked on another machine before logging on and I was still on the list. A bit more than a few hours I think, if such a check even exists at all.

P.S. I think its a poor change anyway. I can understand you wanting to display who is online. But you've removed yet another way for regular users to see if anybody has posted.

I thought is was just there to confuse you lot........runs:)

Hi all,

Nope it's not broken, it now counts users who have viewed either chat, cheats or walkthroughs recently (last few hours I believe).

So it certainly gives you more of an idea who's lurking now!

The old version was who has posted in the last 20 minutes, yeah.

But as I say, looking at my own activities yesterday, doesnt look like this anymore. I'm permanently on there, logged in or not. All that happens is I drop further and further down the list the longer I stay logged out. Certainly never disappeared from the list though.

Whether this system is intended or not is another story. ;)

I'm pretty sure I wasn't online within 20 minutes of your post (although my name is there).

it`s who`s been online in the last 20 minutes or something isn`t it?
not sure, i said it may have been an error of some kind.

You're a bum!

I has a shuvel =D

God I wish it was really like that.

It doesnt show people actually online NOW does it? Looks to me like a list of the previous X people who were online sorted according to last visit.

At least thats what I gathered from observing my own name on the list.

huh? I didnt even know there was an online list (apart from the one that shows who posted). I've been wanting a feature like this for a loooong time.

It's nice to see some users are still watching the forums even if they don't post anymore. :) Like Smedlos, Ashman, Garin, Sly Fox, Eccles, cjh, Bob The Moose, etc.

;P

aaaaaah.. passwordy stuff, i see.
well, that`s one way to generate traffic i guess :D
