Who am I and why am I (not) here?

[Chuck Seiler]

    Minor but vexing issue.  In the last couple of weeks I have noticed I do not show up in the "Recently Browsed" section of posts I am looking at.  I am able to "like", post and respond.  I see other people, but not me.  Additionally, I DO show up in "Who's online".

 

    What's up?

You're not the only one! I'm not here either but you are.  Happens sporadically in other forums too. Sometime no one is listed, entirely blank.

Weird.  Hey, I am browsing here.  I guess I will survive.  Time for a beer.

My inquiry seems to fit this category.  I am registered as "pollex", but my browsing "visits" aren't  noted recently..  My reading various forum comments are noted as "unknown" or unregistered visitor.  Does one have to re-register after a certain duration? The number of visits seems to be important for commenting in the Traders/Dealers section. I've been enjoying this Forum for several years. 

Kind regards, pollex (calgary)

I've noticed that browsing presence is often absent, too, in the mobile version of the site (Android phone using Chrome).

No its there but there is also a minor delay and its probably something the platform will fix on a future update.   Its not anything to worry about.  They are coming up with fixes to minor issues all the time.

There is a refresh on the site for recent topics/who is browsing etc. That's put in place simply because of the sheer size of MSW. 

 

Each time information is displayed, a query is made on our database, which is huge. The system tends to generate information on activity every 5 mins or so, to stop the site from crawling to a halt.

That's the layout format.

 

Turn your phone sideways and it should reappear.
