Yes, it's always that way! I think that if we cover almost all earth time zone, we can say that they're online 24h/day..
I think the board is broken.. also that hidden and the 2 guest are always visible

Right now I see 4 user, 1 hidden, and 1 guest. But, I think Firlefanz and Cairn busted the board somehow :lol:

Hmmm, I wonder who that hidden guy is :roll:

Haha. Just 1 more reason to get PGD online!

I bet I know who he is... :twisted:

I know and see all. MWAHAHAH...err.. yeah!

Don't worry guys, the new site shall be up rather soon and all of your 'Users Online' worries will just... float away...

Weve been HACKED

I worked out where the database was stored. Created my own php script that every 2.45 seconds updates the user list and puts my name in there.

Every 4.34 seconds it checks if WILL is there and deletes him.

:twisted:

My understanding of web coding is that each user gets a session. When the user leaves the site (closes his browser) the session is cleared. What I think is happening here is that for some reason DGDev is expecting the browser to tell the site when the person leaves.

My notebook broke about 2 weeks ago and I now am using a desktop at work. I never switch it off and I ALWAYS have a DGDev window open. This means my browser is never telling the site whn I leave (because I AM always online)

NOOOOOOooooooooo...... You HACKED a good site

:roll: So it was you ... ROFL

It was easy - see my web live tutorial in the tutorial section..... :twisted:

OK I mean it would be easy! I'm waiting for the new site and then I'll ask WILL for a latest messages page that displays just the threads for the last 24 hours (No headers etc, just text lines) - and then make a client app that will let you keep a window open all the time. Click on a link and it will open PGDev at the right page for you to read and reply.

*NOW* he tells me he wants that... :roll:

:lol:

Well I can certantly see about it if you like. However I was planning on making a set of RSS feeds for both the news and forums. Does this make you want your thing more or less?

Aswell I was thinking about including a PDA type page thingy for those that would like to visit PGD with their portable devices.
