Hey i (deepgeek2) is no longer online....
Whoooshh... What was this? How can a user be shown online when he is not?

BTW i am going back to my original id.

Well, vBulletin shows members active for last 15 minutes by default. After either logging out or 15 minutes of inactivity (admins may have changed this) you are not shown in the who's online list.

Ok but how can a user be shown *ONLINE* for ten minutes of inactivity even when he is out of his account ? This happens in some cases when the user isn't disconnected from the site(whatever that means). But in those cases after you reopen the site you are directly logged in .....but here... baap re baap

Ymm Does it hv something to do with "Remember Me" option ?

I never ever use the "remember me" option in any website.

vB is software, not a human.

It cannot know if you're surfing or not. And, the 10 minute inactivity time can be changed by the forum admin through admincp. It can be set to 1 min or even 1 hr, so vB does give the admin some control over this(Relax, there's some time before the machines take over).

Also, you do not get logged out of the site until the cookies residing in the temp folders are deleted. So, when you return to surfing after more than 10 mins, you're shown again as online if the cookies reside there.
But what I wonder is why you were not able to log back in at that time.

Arre bhai i didnot return. I just typed www.thinkdigit.com/forum and saw deepgeek2 as online.Mind you at that time i was a guest. I WAS NOT DEEPGEEK2 THEN I couldn't use my account.
if I was to be online...I should have directly logged into my account

Most of the CMS's have cache enabled, so you can see the cached paged many times. So, what I feel is you must have seen a cached page of the forum.
Also, as I suggested it could be a problem with browser's cache.

This has happened to me many times when using Opera!

Well if you are logged in you won't see the login text boxes and the register button, would you?

So how can a there be a page showing me as online but still showing the login boxes???? If such a page doesnot exist than how it be cached????

BTW, i will try to replicate the situatoin of last night and see if that thing happens again or not. If it does i will inform you.

If you could have scrolled the page a bit lower we'd have know if the problem was with server cache or no. Your clock shows 2:55. At the bottom of the forum, current time of the user's time zone is shown, if you have entered your region correctly. This would have been more conclusive.
