You know that HUGELY embarrassing little section - 'total time logged in'?  I can't help but wonder what yours must be. I live in dread of my wife seeing mine one day . . .

Simple Machines software defaults to assuming that you're still here for a while after you cease loading pages and so your "total time online" escalates and is pretty inaccurate.


Thanks, grahame. I'll try that one, in any divorce court.

If you are looking for excuses reasons for high numbers there,  once you have loaded a page the connection to the server is dropped, and there's no way of knowing whether you're active or not.  Simple Machines software defaults to assuming that you're still here for a while after you cease loading pages and so your "total time online" escalates and is pretty inaccurate.

I have been practising my excuses!

Thanks, grahame. 

That is, if anything, even more embarrassing.

It's not a competition, and indeed it's rather inadvertent - but I have now apparently posted over 20,000 items here on this Coffee Shop forum. 

May I offer my thanks to all of my readers for your continuing support and encouragement.

Chris. 

If the Coffee Shop were not virtual but a physical station, we would be in to be winners in the "World Cup of Stations" based on the positive difference it has brought to many of our lives.

P.S. - You have also started over 2,600 threads!
