Being on line when your not!

Sometimes it shows here that people are on line when they really are not. If I forget to log out my name will still show up that I am on line. I am not real sure why but it does. If I am on line and my power goes out I can come back two or three hours later and it shows me still on line.
Does this happen to just me or to everyone? I had someone email me and ask if I was ok because I was on line for so long a few weeks back. I been meaning to ask just haven't gotten around to it.

I'm not sure Elaine, but I believe you're right. I remember at the 1st DavCon someone asked why I was on-line for a week straight. I never logged out so I guess it showed I was still here.

I forget to log out quite often. 
Once you log on, you'll show up as online until you actually log yourself out.

Sometimes I show as logged on after I shut down the puter, sometimes it dosn't. I started noticing me being logged on for long times when I was off line. Started noticing this last week. Also, last Sunday night I shut down ~ 10:00 pm and the next morning I noticed 2 pm's sent after 10:30 pm sunday night as being read. I never read the pm's Something screwy has been happening.

The login promt has choices for login display. I suspect this has something to do with it.
 Jonny stays logged all the time to pick up chicks.
Were all loggers.

It's a combination of problems that causes this. It all depends on the web server software that is this site, how it's configured, what's in the path between you and the web server, and what's in the path between the web server and it's users. Without a full instant-messenger kind of program running, there's no great way to tell if a user is actually on-line or not, so the web server makes a best guess based on HTTP traffic it sees from you. Some of this traffic is 'memorized' by devices in between (caching proxies) and the web server can get confused. It's not that important for plain old web sites and it's an unsolvable problem with just HTTP.

I always remain logged on.
I do this so that no one will ever feel alone like we have all felt in the past.
If someone needs to talk they can always find a way to atleast get "it" off their chest.

I almost never log off, although I don't always seem to show up. I know there have been times when people PM'd me, thinking I was logged on when I was not. Other times, when I've accessed the site from another computer, I didn't show up. It's one of those mysteries, I suppose.
Best,
George

Ah! The foreigners put on such airs
Wearing the tangerine suits
And their harlequin eyes.
The pain they inspire
Draws in harmonica melodies
And the feathers of birds
Which flame up at their touch.
It all comes to light in the sheer
Debonair.

I must admit that during my early days I forgot to log out and sometimes I left myself online when I was just going to be away just a moment. Thsese days I always log out.
