How would you exempt the moderators and admins from this?

How often is the timer supposed to update?

.txt updated and added one screenshot. It was a small change in effect :)

There are two ways to do it: you can either disable logging for the moderators and adminstrators (it would require further hacking), or just don't display it. If your administrator usergroup is 6 and your moderator's is 5 you can add a template conditional:

<if condition="$post[usergroupid] != 6 AND $post[usergroupid] != 5">
Your code here for printing the board spent time, $post[timespent]
</if>

Then you would only display the time spent in the board for non-moderators and administrators.

It keeps updating as long as you are browsing the board. Whenever you click on a hyperlink and browse another page it updates the time spent in the forum. If you don't have any activity in the forum in the same time setting that you have for your cookie expire options in the admin control panel then it stop recording the board spent time and whenever you log in/open the forum again it starts adding to the time again.

I meant the post bit. on my forums, the timer has yet to update, everyone's timer says "< 1 sec"

Wicked dude. Any chance you can make an online leaderboard? Kinda like memberlist but shows user name posts and time online and is sorted by greatest time online?

Did you run the query in the instructions? (phpmyadmin or admincp)

If you forget to run that query the forum doesn't give you any error, it just shows < 1 sec all the time.

nice hack! I used the one for vB2, ill use this for vB3 as well ;)

What if i just want to put this in the memberinfo template and nowhere else. Do I still need to addd all of the code?

A leader board would be great, i would love a leader board.!

If you only want it in the memberinfo template you can skip the file modifications in showthread.php
