Weird 'Who is Online' bug/feature

[Enigma]

I noticed it shows who is online in each individual section, or using a certain page. Like, if I'm in Spurious and Das Troll is in Half Baked, I won't see him on the "who is online" list.

youve been taking too many lessons from googlespy and faecesbook with their propensity for stalking

[Enigma]

Oh, hush. It's fun to see who else is currently active, and every member can log in as invisible.

Plus, this bug makes stalking easier because I can see who else is reading each THREAD.

unless someone happens to have the particular window open then gets up to answer the phone...or take a shit...or make a sammich...and isnt even at the keyboard.

[Enigma]

It's kind of an odd bug. I fail to see your argument though. It's still reporting the last window opened on the site.

[STACKER]

Taking a shit counts are a valid excuse.
.You should implement a 'last request' policy on which the 'ONLINE' status is based off, I am sure phpBB can do that, else if it behaves strangely give the phpBB forums a whirl and see if you can get anything useful from those folks.

I'm 70% sure the option is there. I'm sure I'll dig through settings to satisfy my curiosity at some point this evening.
