How does it work?

Not a problem, just a request for information:

How does diyAudio know when I am browsing a particular forum?
If I leave my browser open all day, am I shown as browsing all that time?
What about multiple browser tabs, and multiple computers? Am I shown as being in more than one forum at once?

No rush, just curious.

Cheers,
 
This may not be 100% fact but IIRC, it works like this.

The forum software keeps a record of the forum you are currently in. That is the most recent forum that you have visited. I'm pretty sure that you will only be shown as being in a single forum at any given time while you are online. If you have no activity for 15 minutes, you will be considered to be signed off and you'll no longer be shown as being online. To my knowledge, that applies regardless of how many tabs / windows / browsers / computers you might happen to be using. The only difference would be that if you had multiple active sessions at any given time, all your sessions would have to time out before you are shown as offline.

I hope that this helps.
