In my home (includes DIY) MoneySaving (738 Viewing)

What's the timeout value on this figure? For example does this mean "738 different IP addresses have viewed a post on this forum in the last 10 minutes"?

Or "738 different usernames have listed or seen a post on this forum in the last 30 minutes"?

etc

thanks

It means 738 users or guests are currently viewing that board index or content in the board, or that was the last thing they were doing within their session time-out window.

If the user or guest navigates away to another part of the forum the number should go down 1. Just tested here on another vB forum, and it does.

If the user or guest simply closes the web page then they will stay counted until their session times out after 40 mins.
