@jac that’s correct. I don’t think it leverages the socket connection to see if a user is online or not, but relies on another mechanism. I seem to recall reading something similar on the NodeBB forums.

Absolutely! no issue with it at all, doesn’t bother me and infact could potentially look to be a few online which could lead to further sign-ups if people see there’s activity.

Maybe your are right

Personally, it didn’t show the same thing on the number of users online.

For example:

On https://XXXXX.XXX/users?section=online indicates 7 users active

and 5 users active displaying on the plugin Widget.

I prefer real time information or same as users?section=online

@downpw yes, that’s the disconnect I mentioned.

[DownPW]

yes!!! It’s stupid…

[phenomlab]

@downpw I agree. You’d think there would be consistency

[JAC]

@phenomlab Of course, but I don’t think there’s a fix to this. I mentioned the same thing over at the NodeBB forum months ago.

@jac Not so much a lack of fix - more of a reluctance to provide one

very true.

@jac Yeah, not really a fix, but an explanation

[JAC]

Exactly mate, if there’s enough complaining then maybe they’d do a fix or is there simply not one?

[phenomlab]

@jac or I land up fixing it
