online or offline?

[zimu]

how does AT figure out if you're online or offline?
i mean i'm sure its not whether you hit "logout" or something, right?

does it ping your last known IP address or what?

if ur browser is on, i guess u're on......:light:

It probally has to do with the last time period you sent/recieved data to/from the server, after a couple minutes i suppose, you are "logged out", unless you manually log out.

I think it uses cookies? 😕 I'm not sure I understand the technicality, though. 😕 I would like a response from an expert too. 😛

When you log in, God switches on your light.

Everytime you view a page, it records the time you visited, and updates the database to say you are online. After a set amount of time (3-5 minutes, depends on the forum software), if you have not viewed a page, it will update the database to say you are offline.

I don't know about God but if you head down to Mexico Jesus might be able to find you one.
