Whenever I check the "who's online" listing - I'm not there! In the past I have been, but not recently. A few odd things happened when I went to broadband; not sure if this started at the same time. Are there some settings I should check?

Have a look in "my home", then "Personal information, email, password, etc. " and there is an option there "Do you want to be visible on the "Who's Online" screen".

Thanks, Copago. This is already set for Forums. I actually meant in Quizzyland.

It's been some time since I looked there, and it's been updated since I did with far more details. Anyway, I looked through all 8 pages and didn't see my own name there either.
In forums we always show up, but all I can think is that the update may have meant our own names can't be seen by us, though everyone else probably can (you'd have to ask a friend to go online and look to see if you were there to prove it). At least you know you're already on when you look! There are a few official names who will know this for sure to confirm or deny my theory.

It only records you as being "there" if you have played a quiz within a certain amount of time. Simply too much useless server overhead for me to add your names otherwise.

Thanks, Terry. That made a lot of sense - until I tried it. I did a couple of quizzes and then checked, but I still can't see myself on the list. The annoying thing is that I previously could (prior to broadband, I mean). I will get a friend to look me up, using Satguru's suggestion.

I have another question about this list. In the "Time" column, what does the time mean? Is it the time the person logged on, or the time that they played their last quiz, etc.? And why is the time always a bit behind (about 15 mins or so) or perhaps its just my clock!
