I was wondering if there was a hack that changed the "who's online" to "who has been online in the last xx mins" Is there a hack for this? i know there is one for the UBB, but i'm not sure if there's one for VB
thanx

Think than you can modify that but where dunno

It's a matter of editing the wording in the template. The who's online thing is based on sessions and cookie timeouts - however long your cookie timeout is set (under Admin CP > Options) is how long they'll stay on the list. So just edit the...um...let me dig it up

...forumdisplay_loggedinusers. Just edit the wording there.

I thought that was for the amount of time it took until the y could veiw their posts...

I think you mean it's the amount of time until posts are marked read. If that's what you mean, then yes you are correct. It functions for both. Basically the cookie timeout does a number of things in the end, but it is only one variable because each user has only one cookie (aka one session). The things that the cookie timeout affects:
1] How long to wait after the users' last click to mark new posts since the users' previous visit read.
2] How long the user stays on the Currently Active Users' list.
3] How long until the user is considered inactive.
The end result is that number affects all of these. If the user does not use the session cookie, the session is sent thru the links (e.g. url.php?s=longstringoflettershere) but it is still the same thing - after x seconds of inactivity, that session is marked inactive in the database, and eventually deleted.

PimpDaddy: This is merely a matter of semantics. If you want to change the wording from "Currently Active Users" to "Active users within the last x minutes" you just need to edit the forumhome_loggedinusers template to reflect that.

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