Auto-matic log out

17 years ago
    Okay, recently, I think I've been seeing some of the newer members log on, and then they never log off. The way were currently set up, if you don't log off, your name will remain on the bottom of the screen. I remember one time when I came on once about every hour, and everytime I came on, the member was on. His profile showed no activity besides being online. So I thought that maybe we could add in an automatic log out timer. The website can read when you move a page right? So why don't we make it so that if we haven't switched a page in, oh, say half an hour then it automaticcally logs us out. I'm pretty sure theres not something like this already, just tell me and we can get rid of this.

So, good idea, or not?

Laaaammeee

I don't wanna get logged out after 30 mins (if I'm say sleeping....).  Maybe just have it remove you from the who'se online counter... (Which I think its supposed to do already)

Yeah, eventually it must log people out automatically. 

But you're right- it seems like some people show up, aren't active at all, but stay in the who's online bar for a really long time.

I'm pretty sure that if I close my browser window but don't actually shut down Firefox, it keeps showing me as online.
