Simple Question:

Looking above at the top of the page, Total time have you been logged into the AARoads Forum thus far???

Me:  32 days, 31 minutes.

4 days 9 hours and 32 minutes. Have been here a month and a half.

25 days, 9 hours, and 5 minutes.
Interstates I've clinched: 97, 290 (MA), 291 (CT), 291 (MA), 293, 295 (DE-NJ-PA), 295 (RI-MA), 384, 391, 395 (CT-MA), 395 (MD), 495 (DE), 610 (LA), 684, 691, 695 (MD), 695 (NY), 795 (MD)

Scott5114

96 days, 19 hours and 16 minutes.

This isn't a particularly accurate measurement, by my own estimations.

slorydn1

42 Days, 8 hrs and 57 minutes.

Scott, I thought there was some kind of algorythm built in that cancels the time out if one remains on a page too long with no activity?

I know that if the system counted the entire time I was logged in I'd be well over 1000 days. I almost always have the forum open while at work, but quite often get interrupted by, well, work (911 doesn't answer itself, lol).

Nope.  You need to load a new page on the forum every 15m, otherwise, time doesn't count (oh, and don't close the browser, as that does reset it for sure, as it counts it as a new session).

hotdogPi

259 days, 11 hours, and 1 minutes.

The counter doesn't know when to use the singular form.

I stay on "Recent Unread Topics" and reload the page quite often, which is why it's so high.
Clinched, minus I-93 (I'm missing a few miles and my file is incorrect)

Traveled, plus US 13, 44, and 50, and several state routes

I will be in Burlington VT for the eclipse.

Ahh ok that makes more sense-not that I'm here for statistical purposes anyway. 20 years ago that may have been a thing but I'm to old to be worrying about my post count and time on the forum now anyway.

97 days, 5 hours, 24 minutes. That seems high to me. I do leave the forum open in the browsers on both my iPhone and iPad when I'm not using them, but based on the comment above, in theory that shouldn't affect the stats.

I find it mildly interesting that none of the top 10 posters are in the top 10 for time spent online.

For me personally, 6 days, 19 hours, 55 minutes at the time of this post.

See, I look at your post count and think that seems low  :-D

I'm surprised.  Maybe they left off the years and months.   :)

Interesting. I just logged out (by hitting the "Logout" button at the top of the page). I then scrolled down and noticed I had completely disappeared from the "users active in the last 15 minutes" list. I would have thought I should still be on that list for 15 minutes, even if I'm technically offline.  :confused:

73 days, 20 hours and 9 minutes for me. I thought it would be more, given the amount of time I spend here...

At the very moment that I type this post, my total time logged in is 39 days, 22 hours and 6 minutes.

Back in early 2017, when my OCD was much worse, it would force me to take screenshots of my total time logged in in each and every hour that it progressed (23d 1h, 23d 2h, 23d 3h, etc.). Not only did this waste storage on my phone, but it was incredibly nerve-wracking and boring, and it would force me to read and browse the forum logged out most of the time during that period of time (except when I was actually posting, of course) - this was especially annoying when I wanted to read things in boards that are only visible to actual users who are actually logged in. Finally, I stuck the bird to my mind, and that was all over with. I feel a lot more free now, I don't have to intermittently log out and stay out, then log back in just to post, all for that stupid compulsive reason. But the point is that during that period of time, my total time logged in was not very accurate, over those several most severely mentally ill months (probably February to July 2017, practically half a year), I stayed in the range of 22 to 24 days logged in - now, since then, I have gone from 24 to nearly 40 days logged in, which is probably a rapid rate. With all of that said, my "total time logged in" seems to be most likely a few days short of actually being accurate, due to that obsessive period of time where I had to spend most of my time on the forum reading stuff logged out. I'd say I probably spend a good bit of time on this forum, and I do refresh things quite often to see new posts. I feel a lot more free now, so that's very good, and my mind can no longer restrict me from being logged in whenever I am actually browsing the forum.

Wait a minute! You're logged-in to the forum while you're dispatching? That's a risk in itself.

How so? My computer has 4 screens, and it takes me a half-second to point my mouse at the cad portion of the screen. Or would you just have me staring at the TV watching the weather channel with the sound off for hours on end?

My total is embarrassingly high, as if to guilt-trip me into spending less time here.

Why is the total even displayed when we're logged in? I can see administrators making some technical use of that statistic, but how it helps users is to me unclear at best.
