    Active user!!

    Question to Franck or the mods

    What is the definition of active user as far as this forum is concerned?

    I understand what " active" and "user" mean in there literal sense.

    There must be a forum definition because the numbers of active users appears to fluctuate.

    So when does a non-active user become an active user and vice versa?

    Just curious as I see the numbers every time I log on.

    There's an A.P.P. for that!

    I thought it was the number of members and guests who were currently looking at the forum - which is why it changes throughout the day?

    Yes, that's what I understood by Active Users too (currently 56)

    And this is what I understood by Active Members, currently 815. Am I wrong?

    Ah... I just looked back a the front page - we're thinking of "currently active users", but there's another bit that says:

    Welcome to our newest member, harkes
    Blimey. I hadn't really read that bit properly before. Ach - we live & learn....

    (though I blame UP for saying "Active User", not "Active Member")

    Personally, I don't think a blanket Active Member is the right term..can we not have grades of Active - like very, average, really, or hyper ? Yet another inefficiency on the forum thats worth pointing it.

    I think I'd be a 'hyper active' one - but we'd need a separate category just for DJ!
