Hi ,

If a registered user is logged in lets say at 10.00 o clock and left the forum at 10.05 in my forum it shows that he is still logged in for more than an hour?

Why is that ? Iam using 3.6.8

Because you cannot tell when a user leaves, he could be idle reading through a thread or he could have closed his browser, it goes off his last activity and a setting in the Admincp for the time limit until their no longer considered active since their last activity.

If it was not set up like that then NOONE would ever show up as online.

You didn't read what RLShare was trying to explain. A user will be shown online until the "Session Timeout" time after their last activity. So, if your user leaves the site, and your Session Timeout is set to 900 (15 minutes), then he will still be shown online for 15 minutes after he leaves. You must have your Session Timeout set to about 60 minutes. You can change that in vboptions > Cookies > Session Timeout
