Hi - I am trying to reduce the time that a user appears online, after they have not officially logged out, but have essentially closed out my forum.

Does anyone know how to do this?

Any help is much appreciated

Admin CP > vBulletin Options > vBulletin Options > Cookies and HTTP Header Options ('Time-out for Cookie' is what you're looking for)

Just make sure that in your General Settings the Thread/Forum Read Marking Type is not set to 'Inactivity/Cookie Based', or once your user goes off the Who's Online list any unread posts they left will be set to read, which might confuse your visitors!

Just remember not to set this too low, otherwise for your users who choose not to stay logged in (eg: dont use cookies) will have issues wirting longer posts.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
