Online user listing - Answered

The list of current online chatroom users is not always reliable. I have often seen one or more names listed as "online", but when I open the chatroom, there is on one there. How is that list updated?

I know that you gave me some advice on how to get my name off the list when I leave, and it works. But that does not update the others.

Lydia,

They have to clear their names just like you or their names will stay on the list. Maybe I should make a post under the announcements letting eveyone know how to log off of the chat properly.

Hi Sharon,
That sounds like a good idea to me. I have had the same problem as Lynda, log on to chat and no one there but it was showing them there.(chat on the form page)

Hugs,
Danette

Chat room timeout

Perhaps the addition of a time-out function would help here. The administrator could set a time where, after a specified period of inactivity, the user would be logged out of the chat room.

I was sitting in there waiting patiently for someone to come in, then I left my computer and left it open. While I was away someone came in and said hello, but then left since I wasn't there to respond. :cry: I think the timeout period would have saved Wendy the trouble...
