[NODEBB] Stats

@downpw ok. I’d be interested in the results of this also.

currently using this, what seems to be the issue you are facing with it mate?

[phenomlab]

@jac one of reliability I think. I also use it but haven’t really paid that much attention to it as I’m not really into stats as such.

[JAC]

@phenomlab I see mate. I thought it was showing wrong stats at first but it appears to keep you as if you’re online even if you’re not until it times out, this is the way NodeBB works I believe.

[phenomlab]

@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

[phenomlab]

@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.

[phenomlab]

@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
