Default Re: Response to El D\'s request for online user count by forum

[ QUOTE ]
a question about the data:

if a user has tabs open with threads from multiple forums, how would what he is 'viewing' be calculated?

[/ QUOTE ]
Sniper believes that a user is counted as viewing a forum if he has opened a thread there within the last 15 minutes. So as long as each tab keeps getting refreshed, each counts as a separate user.

Iron, worth noting that even if the first sentence is true (and you would think looking at the thread list would also count, right?), does not make your 2nd sentence true.
