The bar at the bottom which shows which of the forum members are online.... On what basis is the order of names decided? It isn't alphabetical???

Dunno why But I just wondered why?

it based on who moved the most recent. when you are logged in, you will 99% of the time be #1 becuase you moved at that particular moment. if you do what i do, and monitor how long it takes for my name to go away, then you know that many people have moved about in the forums since you last moved.

kinda get it?

ok ok ok that sounded stupid, here's a visual on this

when in firefox, im logged in, every time i move about in the forums, i'm registered as the most recent move. now every time i refresh in firefox, i'm always #1

in IE, when im not logged in, i refresh, and others hasbeen noted at most recent mover.

Firefox: logged in
...

IE not logged in
