I'm not sure if this is visible in all layouts, but near the top of my screen it gives "Total time logged in".
Current count: 61 days, 23 hours and 35 minutes
I've been a Toadfish for two months! :mrgreen:
26 days, 8 hours and 43 minutes.
It would be roughly a year, but I accidentally clicked on a link to another thread in Toadfish, and the link re-directed me through the front page, which logged me out-- I don't care for the wrapped version-- I strictly stay with the unwrapped. (Unwrapped gives me full wide-screen access to all the posts, more words per page. The wrapped is locked into a tiny (to me) aspect ratio-- unacceptable to my widescreen monitor.)
**bleah**
I should have copied the link, edited out the front-end wrapper code, and used that... I forget that others are not as anal as I, when it comes to screen real-estate.
:)
Bob,
If you look up in the upper-right hand corner of the wrapped version there are some buttons for controlling the layout. One button is for wide screen. If you click on it, it makes the layout wider. There are also buttons to increase or decrease font size.
9 days 9 hours 48 minutes.
Here's an odd thing: yesterday I fiddled with my avatar and when I'd finished, my post-count said 'leet'. No figures, just 'leet'. Very odd. It's back to normal today.

Your post count probably hit 1337.
1337 would be about it, but I don't get it !?*? ???
only 42 days, 9 hours and 9 minutes despite haveing the most posts (15683 without this one).
I don't know how the program counts the time exactly.
At the time: 25 days, 22 hours and 31 minutes and 1982 posts.
57 days, 10 hours and 3 minutes
--
1337 = leet = elite according to the original hacker code, now it's all the way around, leet/1337 is a way to write:
f0r 1n574nc3 71k3 th15.
There are more cryptic ways to do so:

I'm certain there are-- but I'm an old fogie and very anal retentive when it comes to control of software. I'm also something of a minimalist, and the unwrapped version Just Works [for me].
It's been a couple of years? At least a year since I looked at the wrapped version, and apart from the more busy look, I found it tended to reset me, logging me out seemingly at a whim. Once you posted the method to get to unwrapped? I never looked back at the wrapped one again.
:D
Thanks for that, Zono.
MB, how do you get this unwrapped version? I've used the buttons at the top for a while now, but I didn't know about unwrapped.
Another thng, if you folks would be so kind: on my own posts, to the right of the QUOTE MODIFY DELETE buttons, is a little tick-box. What does it do?

To get to the unwrapped version go to http://toadfishmonastery.com/forum.
I've never been able to duplicate the session problems anybody is having. What browser are you using Bob?
Thanks, MB, unwrapped is much better.
Here's the magic mystery box:

The unwrapped works quite well enough for me, and does not [usually] force-log me out. It's only when I go over to the wrapped version that it *always* force-logs me out, one of several reasons why I quit using 'wrapped'.... I've forgotten the others... slow load times? I think that was one for sure. Unwrapped is much faster on my machines.
Yeah, it's old tech. Once I redo the site it will be faster. It's just such a PITA though. I need to port the templates to the latest version of Joomla and SMF...

Sorry no mysteries... ;)
It works like this:
"Quote" -Click this button in any post and you will create a new post that starts with a quote of the former (it looks like this post).
"Modify" This option should only be visible on your own posts. It's a short-cut to editing your post click it to correct spelling or make additions.
"Delete" This option should only be visible on your own posts. It simply deletes your post.
I hope I have straighten out some question marks.
:D
Currently it says I've been logged on for 37 days, 10 hours and 46 minutes.
Darlica, with the big noggin! :D Thank you for clearing that up!
Sorry, Darli, but those buttons you mention are clear enough - it's the tiny check box to the right of DELETE that puzzles me

Bob, I know this sounds really obvious, but when you first log in there is a choice "How long do you want to stay logged in?" To me it offers a choice of 60 minutes or for ever. Could this be the cause of your getting loggged out?

I am 'logged in forever' but any link in a post that leads to another post in the monastery causes instant transfer to the wrapped version of the monastery and logging out.

Would that be a link to a wrapped post? What about a link to an unwrapped post? If you login on the wrapped side does that still happen?
all internal links seem to get interpreted as wrapped. Not yet tried to follow link inside wraps.

That seems to be the case with me as well-- yes, I've checked the "logged in forever" box.
As of this edit?
19 days, 16 hours and 48 minutes since I was force-logged off by accidentally clicking an internal link.
:)
12 days, 15 hours and 10 minutes.
That all? Doesn't seem right, somehow.
65 days, 13 hours and 45 minutes and 11,277 posts.
I'm up there with the angels.
Yeh, and following links logs me out, so I don't. ;D
Simply leaving the window open does not count as time logged in obviously. Tested it yesterday.
20 days, 22 hours and 44 minutes :o
Same problem with links here, although I think mostly if they are posted by a wrapped Sibling. I think unwrapped links work fine for me.
OMFSM, was I a wrapped sibling? Never mind, I'm unwrapped now, though Mrs H doesn't seem to have noticed.
David, sitting by the computer, posting in your birthday suite isn't really the same as "unwrapped mode" ;D
Even while I am active the logging count does not go up (even with refresh).
That's because it only checks the time logged in this session, when logging out.
If you login wrapped and then switch to unwrapped, then wrapped links should work...
I looks like the system considers one logged out after 15 minutes of not doing anything (and those 15 minutes then will not count).
Refresh early, refresh often!

Aaaah, nope... I have never logged out of either one.
But.
If you log in under wrapped, then log in under unwrapped, you are force-logged out of wrapped--apparently the cookie that remembers your log status is in conflict (I guess).
Same is true for the reverse: log in under unwrapped, then log in under wrapped, and you are force-logged out of unwrapped.
Hmmmm..... Yet another problem I can't seem to duplicate. When I login wrapped I am logged into the forum as well.
What browser are you using?
It doesn't happen for me, either. I'm using Chrome.

Interesting - I tried it with my Firefox 3.5.9 It did the logout trick for a couple of changeovers and then settled down and behaved. ??? I rarely use Fartbox now I'm used to Chrome.

Alas, it is likely one my many, many extensions f!ckin up things.
:)
In any case, I do not click internal links any more, and I'm happy-- and I don't have to log in each time.
(okay, so call me lazy... the onerous task of logging in is sooooo much a time-consumer.... :ROFL: )
Now up to 54 days 1 hour.
I have to press refresh or post within the 15 minutes margin or the time logged in is not counted. This seems not to be the case with some other siblings or their relation of posts to logging time would look totally unrealistic.
It will still take some time to get past Griffin :mrgreen:
Long posts, with several previews during the writing of, probably contribute more than hit-and-run Last Posting.
64 days, 6 hours and change.
But postings one could answer to are rare most of the day.
Or should we go scouting with a new thread every day? ;)
Well, the point is not to get your time-count up, I was just curious where folks were at.
If you start a long new rant everyday, you probably will succeed in upping your time.
First one to get a full year logged-in time or gets past 100000 posts wins a personal squidling :mrgreen:
Edit: Triumphavi et adhuc triumpho! I am the supreme logger and poster (in quantity, not quality). :yippee: :woohoo: :YaY: ;)
Where do you see others' logged-in time?
70d 47h 12m
82 days, 9 hours and 45 minutes
Go to the bottom left of the home page
You should find a 'more stats' link
On the page this leads to you can find the 'most time online' at the bottom right of the general statistics table.
You've found a technique then, I trust, being that you've nearly doubled your time since this thread started. ;)
I don't see this as a contest, though - just proof of how much time I spend here.
P.S. You really need to start more threads, Swato. ;) ;) :devil2:
I just moved into the top then there.
I usually put things into existing threads instead of creating new ones.
When I am on a PC with net connection I am almost constantly on the forum.
But if one does not push refresh at least every 15 minutes it is not counted as logged in at all.
My target are 100 days 'formal' (practically I have been in for much longer)
There's a reloader extension for Chrome that will do that for you. Ironically it's called, "Reloader."
Chrome is a heavy metal and many of its compounds are dangerous. :mrgreen:
Hmmm? Compared to say Firefox? :mrgreen: Why is it that Firefox is so light and fast on Ubuntu? Oh.... *sigh*
94 days 15 hours 9 minutes
100 days 4 (now 5) minutes
I achieved Napoleon's second rule
Now for Anne of the Thousand Days ;)
Our heads are doffed to you, sir! ;)
Do you leave yourself logged in when not active?
That's not possible (or I would have passed 100 days long ago). After 15 minutes without action the status goes to inactive and the last 15 minutes are not counted.
While I am online I keep the forum open and try to check at least 4 times per hour.
So no one can abscond witht he Last Post so easily :mrgreen:

Just to monk the opposition :D
A hundred days was the original goal that's now fulfilled. After that it's just oddities like 123 days 4 hours 56 minutes. I have my doubts that I'll achieve a 1000 days (after Waterloo comes Anne Boleyn ;))
Don't take it seriously.
Purely an item of curiosity for me, until Swato started gaming the system. ;)
I used to worry that I was on here too much, but 25 days, 21 hours and 57 minutes seems kind of paltry now...
43 days, 2 hours and 40 minutes. This is why I have to send MentalBlock some money (http://toadfishmonastery.com/index.php?option=com_smf&Itemid=32&topic=2637.0) for the website... I've not been here long enough!
150 days, 2 minutes
I missed the exact moment
75 days, 1 hours and 19 minutes.
Almost exactly half as much as Swato.
What drives me on is the fear that one day you will catch up by fair means :o ;)
I don't think the wind blows that hard.
31 days, 20 hours and 47 minutes.
Whenever I feel guilty about frittering away time on the internets, I can log back onto the internets and look at Swato's counts and feel a bit virtuous instead...
:halo:

160 days
A nice number, but could anyone catch up with you now?
As I said, it's the fear of that that drives me on :mrgreen:
I guess, should I get a job, I'd be much rarer here.
Are you going for the full year record? :)
That would be the dream
Carp! I'm far behind you at only 48 days, 7 hours and 4 minutes.
Maybe we could send the first person to hit 365 days a TM mug, if the shop's still going. (I haven't checked lately).
175 days this very minute.
Now just another week, 14 hours and 55 minutes to half-year mark.
You should clock that up in no time................................ wait a minute, that's impossible ;)
I've moved up only two days in the period Swato went up fifteen days.
And I don't see him logged on all the time!
Maybe he avoids logging on when he sees you online :stirpot: :mrgreen:
As a European my log-in time overlaps only partially with that of a typical USian (or Canadian, Mexican, otherwise-American).
Since I idle most of the day in front of the screen, I can easily refresh regularly, meaning that 8 hours of being logged in per day are not that difficult to achieve. That way I can also answer to any post that does not slip through the shoddy programming.
2 days, 15 hours and 36 minutes. I'm almost beating the top five! ;D

Unfortunately the old fish and chips joke does not work in Euros.

No, just to when it was £ s. and d. ;)

I now have exactly 700 messages.
I only 104
So interesting research to be done on ratios of length of time logged in v. number of messages? (I need a research paper for my essay !! )
You are an admin, so you naturally receive more PMs. Not to forget that you're the resident Auntie.
So the research is biased. That does not matter. Indeed for a critical paper to be critical, the research has to be inadequate :mrgreen:
I have 88 messages but I believe that I already deleted some.
I have data contrary to your hypothesis on time logged in vs messages:-
Hey, Roland Deschain, you have 911 messages, 400 are new.
Total time logged in: 3 days, 3 hours and 11 minutes.

Y'know, I think my counter actually underestimates my time online here. My larger posts frequently take 2+ hours to author, but I suspect that if I'm just typing and not doing previews/refreshes the counter might time out after a set period and not capture the full activity.
Still, this place has been active for about 6 years, and 85 days of login time works out to roughly 4% of my life spent at the Monastery (and a higher percentage of my waking life). :o
I'm on a mere 78 hours.

If time the browser window is open would be counted, I'd likley have crossed the 1 year mark by now.
But most of the time I am simply waiting for someone else to post something I can answer to. But the most active time on the forum is usually outside my waking hours (when it's day in America).
I tend to log in and outt. So the time logged is time when I am active.
As Aggie, I occasionally take so long to compose a post that the auto-logout sets in
I only have 50 days logged on, which seems odd, since I spend a lot of time here, as well. I do not usually leave a window open here when going to other sites or working. My computer tends to bog down when I leave windows open. So I flit back and forth.
I have only 28 days here.
Leaving it logged in is the answer to extra large presence. Can anyone ever beat Swato now?
But with no action after 15 minutes the system thinks, that the user has left and refreshing then does not add those 15 minutes to the log-in time. So, refresh at least every 14 minutes or you do not progress.
How do you know that?
He's written an application which refreshes automatically every 14 minutes. ;)
Wish I could do that.
No, it's bad experience. E.g. when I take too long time in the restroom and then come back and find that at refresh the clock but not the counter gets updated.
Is the restroom first left past the library, or am I heading in the wrong direction?
There is a library in the restroom.
That partially explains why stays there tend to exceed 15 minutes.
And another ten days have gone by bringing us up to 30 weeks
do you get a red star or a gold one?
None, please.
There are no stars in the Stasi logo... ;) :P :o :mrgreen:
Those were record keepers not holders
The record holders of record keeping. :P
Contenders yes but there is fierce competition. Their old-fashioned methods pale in comparision with what e.g. the DHS can do today (like collecting all phone calls and emails going through US servers). But the problem of data analysis not being able to keep up with data collection stays the same.
Btw, a nice literary take on this (with no political implications) is Stanislaw Lem's story Ananke from the Pilot Pirx cycle.

Oh. I naively thought just 365 days. I suppose there's nothing special about midnight.
Well there is but calendarian and astronomical time are not always (actually never) in full accord.
There are true noon and midnight.
It's only a matter of time until days and years will synchronize for some time but we won't see it because it will take some time beyond our life expectancy.
A prepos....... the BBC have been told to take their clock off their Home page as it gets its time from the user's computer clock which is often wrong.............. (though why people wouldn't have their clocks synchronised with the atomic clock I know not/i].
My electric alarm clock is always set 10 minutes fast because reasons. The clock on my laptop and the clock on the tv match and are linked to the sekrit internets time. The electric clock on the stove (I don't set this - it rights itself if the fusebox is reset) is a couple minutes slower. I have always set the clock in my car 10 minutes fast because reasons. The digital clock on an electronic billboard halfway to work is ~2 minutes faster than my home pc time. The (battery operated, so, yeah) wall clock at work ranges from 5 minutes fast to 5 minutes slow. The clock on my work pc matches my "home" time; the clock on the pc hooked up to the HOME OFFICE is 2 minutes fast.

I've actually got three clocks on my laptop: for GMT, Sri Lanka, and Australia. I have the alarn clock on my bedroom chest of drawers two minutes behind my bedside alarm. In any case, I have a load of preset alarms set on my smart phone for reminder of various events - so many it tends to drive me slightly mad. My car and my microwave are an hour behind as they are difficult to change and they will, in any case, be correct again when the clocks go back in the autumn.
It was probably easier when you just had to look through the standing stones at Stonehenge.
41 days, 21 hours and 41 minutes.
Nice numbers.
313 days, 13 hours and a bit more than 13 mnutes
More nice numbers.
I haven't even reached 90 days...
great numbers, swato!

Nor I have, but working on it. Could cheat by logging out less, like Swato :mrgreen:
It's a constant effort. Every 11 minutes the alarm beeper reminds me to refresh. All done by hand not bot.
We stand amazed at your dedication.
We strive as long as we live ;)
Strive is a bad word over here at present. The Govt. has done a divide and rule by running a Strivers and Skyvers campaign. (Skyvers includes people who are too ill to work etc etc. it is a shameful campaign, disabled people eg are getting beaten up etc etc).

I noticed. What's the half of unholy? :mrgreen:
The better half.

About the same three months as me, which sounds low at times.

350 days
But that means you've clocked up 5 days in 11 days. Is that possible?
Actually I am surprised myself.
Shouldn't be more than 8 hours a day given my lack of discipline (and cloudfare unreliability)

Ayuh, many of my larger posts take 2 - 3 hours to compose. Also, I do a lot of hit and runs (quick check-ins, maybe read 1 or 2 threads). I suspect that the forum gives you a certain number of minutes even if the total time spent here is very short. It seems like it'll show members as online even after they've left the site, then does an auto time-out after a few minutes. A 15 second check in every 5 minutes might end up looking like a continuous presence.
OTOH, I suspect that merely working on a post does not produce enough activity (without hitting preview) to count as being 'here', so spending an hour on typing something out may not give an hour's time.
A refreshing within 15 minutes is necessary (or opening a new window or posting).
Mere typing does nothing.
If no such activity occurs, the systems does not count up and ignores the time one has merely used to type or read.
Also, I've dropped out of game threads to a large degree, so I have a relatively low post count; if one is playing along with the games it's easy to post many times in a short amount of time, nearly every time you visit.
But posting in itself won't clock up that much. Refreshing would only clock up a few seconds - not anything like 5 days in 11 days - I should think there's a time bug - also there's a very very annoying bug which is leaving my "posts since last login" list empty. Usually it happens once in a while, but it's been going on for days now and I am fed up wth it. I did email MB about updating the forum s/w - it is very very out of date - but he told me how to do it - and I couldn't understand what he meant.
My computer is on for most of my waking hours and I rarely sleep more than 6 hours. So unless I am out, the forum site is open >12 hours a day and I keep a beeper at 11 minutes to remind me of refreshing (F5) within the quarter hour.
So how many seconds does a refresh last? From that it should be possible to work out total hours per day. Assuming doing nothing between refresh actions.
(I'm not going to comment on your beeping).
Doing an F5 within the 15 minute range adds the time between the F5 and the last equal action (F5, opening a thread, posting etc.) to the log time. If no action is taken within that time, no log time is added at all.
So you cannot control it all. You have to rely on someone popping in to reply to your posts. Unless you do double posts. ie. F5 followed by another F5 counts 0?
No, any F5 or action that let's your computer actively contact the site counts.
Then I am surprised you haven't rigged your machine up to do F5's automatically :D
That would require a minimum of IT knowledge that I do not possess.
But you could ask a friend to do it ;)

I wonder if it will roll over into years?
There are interactive tickers available on the interweb. (like my quit counter).
88 days bla bla
What's the count, Swato?
Have your meteoric rise slowed down?
It have or maybe nought ;)
A bit erratic the last few days in internet attendance.
Naughty!
Don't let naughtiness send you into nothingness.

You're our first yearling, Swato!
Congratuleechins!
Well (or actually not), the news from Griffin completely spoiled it.
I'm still here. 89/3/37. Of course, it could be someone in my Will availing themselves of the password I so efficiently specified.
Even if the news of your demise seem still to be exaggerated, the mere fact of them occurring when I was in the process of crossing the line had the effect.
Be ashamed and live another decade or four!!! ;)
Sorry to have spoilt your first birthday. On the other hand, you could worship the ground MB walks on for making this place work properly again.
Praise be to MB!

Ew, this dust tastes like dirt!
How can I have only been logged on 59, 10 hours and 22 minutes days?
Congratulations, Swato!
45 days, 6 hours and 7 minutes.
~320 days to catch up to where you are today. :)
Now I am past a 'real' year, which is slightly less than 365.25 days (and I am 10 minutes beyond that).
That 10 minutes may be the most admirable.
375 day 1 minute
You win the logging championship!
59 days, 23 hours and 27 minutes.
Shall we start a thread for how long we have been logged off?
I don't know, but I think Swato deserves a medal. Something along the lines of the Purple Toadfish, maybe.
When and where is the ceremony?
Wait for the 400 day mark at least
380 days
Is that more than Philus Phogg?
I think this venerable eccentric was not into logging
More of a lumberjack maybe.
60 days, 18 hours and 45 minutes.
Still haven't gotten around the world. Stupid balloon!
The problem is that people confuse the film(s) with the book (no balloon there) while ignoring the book that has an actual balloon in it which was Verne's breakthrough (5 Weeks in a balloon). Btw, most Jules Verne balloon tours end with a crash.

Spoiling your record?
No, since it happened right after I passed the line I could be rather relaxed about it.
I would have been furious, if it had happened a few minutes before the time.
Let me know asap if it goes down. Dreamhost was busy with heartbleed so it took forever to find out what was wrong.
Well, thanks for sorting it. Usually it just pops off for a bit and then comes back, but this time was different.

You're still at it? I'd thought you would be more concerned with me having the Last Post for days...

113 days if you ask.
Why should I leave this poor thread to die? ;)
You shouldn't.
I have 804 messages.
I have just 134 (although I think I deleted a few in the past, not many)
Centuries
What with time travel and all.
435 days, rise getting slow
Better you have schooling than a high post count however sad that may be.
It's university holidays currently. Lectures start again on April 13th.
Does that mean you are out playing in the playground for a month?
Springbreak!

Going outdoors? :o
I should do some Latin reading. Just a matter of choosing.
Working on my epic should be on the list too, especially since I have run out of ideas for parodying classic myths and events (e.g. funny takes on Medea, the murder of Caesar...).
At the moment it is just secondary literature (currently on Roman drama).

Hardly changed. Too tired to log on.
42 days 1 hour 8 minutes. But I did pop out for a while.
Still nice to get a sign of life of you! :)
Yes, sorry about that. Things got rather hectic for a few years (full time job and two parents simultaneously with chronic terminal diseases).
it actually seems rather odd to have spare time again. I've even found time to get a girlfriend (she's a nurse, at my age it's probably best to combine the two roles, and being able to work a defibrillator might well come in handy).
What's been happening here?
The place got rather quiet :(
Aw, Swato, you and I have done a grand job, with a little help from Zono and one or two others. The two word story and last post have grown and grown.
How great to see you Beagle. You have been missed. Though I assume the free time is due to a change in family circumstances for which I send condolences.
Beagle! So good to hear from you!

Thank you. Yes I've now run out of parents, and relatives in general in fact. If I had the energy it would probably be a good time to breed some more, but I'll probably do the Telegraph crossword instead.

The Telegraph crossword is so much easier than the Guardian's. :mrgreen:
I have certainly missed my old sparring partner. It's a huge responsibility being the end of a line. I am the last too, as my children took their father's name for some unfathomable reason. It would all be so much easier if one could place an order for the right sort of offspring - the seen and not heard type perhaps.
My father is still with us - very nearly 95. I think he is too busy running the care home to consider moving on to other realms.

(http://www.telegraph.co.uk/history/world-war-two/11151478/Could-you-have-been-a-codebreaker-at-Bletchley-Park.html)
I suppose all the typesetting errors in the Grauniad make it more difficult.
Thanks for the link. I shall try the ancient crossword when I have more (actually some or any) energy.
I do admit that when really stuck on a clue in the Grauniad crossword, I do start worrying about typos.
There is a distinct difference in the apparent mindsets of Telegraph and Grauniad setters and I usually cannot fathom what the Grauniad ones are on about, whereas The Telegraph (and the Times too) I can usually complete.

I don't use bots, just an egg-timer to remind me to refresh (F5 wise). :mrgreen:
I never refresh, which is probably why I smelll bad.
My personal hygiene (except the hands) also leaves something to be desired.
Hehe I got my carer to help me have a bath on Monday (I can no longer get in and out without help and despite having acquired an expensive bath chair* free still have trouble geting in and out).
* have always thought of them as ghastly ugly bits of disabled kit with no good (artistic) design features. But actually they are great fun. I love pressing the button and getting slowly lowered down and later rising up as if by magic (of course electricity is involved, it is not really magic).
460 days
Given up counting. Takes too long.
A more meaningful metric would be the number of posts, and in that one Swato reigns supreme.
96 days, 17 hours and 23 minutes + the time posting this post.
I'm 20 days ahead of you. ;)
Yes. That does not surprise me. You have a lot of drivel to offload. :censored:
Actually, my days are down as I can't manage to get on here every day. Going through a bad patch. Lots to do --> too ill to do it --> Lots to do --> too ill to do it. Things are getting done at a snail's pace and wearing me out in the process. I need a holiday from being ill.
I know there's no excuse really. It is remiss of me and I will take my punishment.
