zlim Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Other forums I go to, I can see when I was last there. Can we get something like that here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V.T. Eric Layton Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 All you have to do to see that is hover over your username in any thread. You'll see Last Active there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LilBambi Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 Yep, very easy to see by using the Hover on your username or other user names. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V.T. Eric Layton Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Unless it's only Admins/Mods that see that? *shrugging* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tushman Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Unless it's only Admins/Mods that see that? *shrugging* No, it works for me as well. I can see how Liz would have missed that though... with all the changes the forum has gone through, I don't think hovering over the username was one of the options in the old version we had.

crp Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 probably requires javascript being enabled for the site as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LilBambi Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 If you don't have javascripting enabled, you can always just click on their profile as Last active is also on the profile page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V.T. Eric Layton Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 No, it works for me as well. Ah! COOL! Thanks for letting us know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zlim Posted July 31, 2012 Author Share Posted July 31, 2012 (edited) Thanks. That's one thing I never do - hover over my own username! I would never have figured that one out. It shows I'm currently active which isn't what I had hoped to see. I haven't been on since Saturday and I was hoping to see what time on Saturday I was here.

V.T. Eric Layton Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Did you make a posting on Saturday? You could always check your recent posts to see what time you made it, if so. I don't think it would stand up in court as a legit alibi, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frapper Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 It was around 6:30 PM Saturday (which is probably 7:30 PM ET). I hovered for the past couple days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zlim Posted August 1, 2012 Author Share Posted August 1, 2012 My "Last Active" shows the current time whether I make a post or not. That isn't what I wanted to know. For instance, today I'd expect to see, before I posted anything, that I was last active yesterday at anywhere from 4pm to 7pm but there is nowhere I can get that information short of doing a search for my posts. That's too cumbersome. Freedomlist. Sorry I know it is different software. It shows whether I post anything or nothing. That's the kind of info I wanted to see. MajorGeeks, again different software I was hoping to get eeepcusers forum, which uses the same software but the site is down AGAIN! It's up for 1 or 2 days and then down for 2 or 3 weeks. There is no telling when I'll be able to get a screenshot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V.T. Eric Layton Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 We may be out of luck here, Liz. This board's software just doesn't seem to have that option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zlim Posted August 1, 2012 Author Share Posted August 1, 2012 Thanks Eric for checking. As I said, "if possible". Since it isn't, I will live with all the other nice features of this board as well as the great administrators. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V.T. Eric Layton Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Fran knows more about the under-the-hood stuff on this board than I do. She's been busy this week, though. When she pops in here, maybe she can check for an alternative method for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LilBambi Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 I guess I don't understand. If you currently on the forum, that is your last active date/time ... the current date/time. You would have to look at your profile or hovercard without being logged in I would think to see when your last logged in time was. Are these other forums IP.Boards? If so, maybe you could ask them what Hook or Plugin they are using. Or even if on another forum board type, maybe the name of the addon/plugin/hook they are using for it. I went looking and did a cursory search (sevearl actually), and found nothing for last visit last time on forum, etc., in their market place.

zlim Posted August 3, 2012 Author Share Posted August 3, 2012 Freedomlist uses an old version of http://www.phpbb.com/ so that would not help. Major Geeks uses vBulletin® Version 3.8.4 which probably isn't much help either. As I said the forum that does use the same software as Scot's goes down for 3 weeks at a time. Efforts to reach the webmaster and ask a question are hopeless. I'm not sure I see a time there. When it comes back, I'll snag a screenshot and post it.

Guest LilBambi Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 From your profile page at 12:28PM EDT: zlimMember Since 28 May 2003 Offline Last Active Yesterday, 08:36 PM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zlim Posted August 5, 2012 Author Share Posted August 5, 2012 You can see that BUT the minute I come on and check, it tells me that I'm Online and Last Active with the current time. (This doesn't help me a bit.) The only way I can see what you see is to not log in here, check my profile (if that is possible not logged in) and see when I left yesterday, then log in. That's too kludgy for me. I'll stick with not really knowing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V.T. Eric Layton Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Keep a personal log using old technology... pencil/paper. Just kidding, Liz. Please don't throw that flower vase at me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LilBambi Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 I spent over an hour over at their MarketPlace and went through their hooks and plugins, and about 700 overall addons, plus I did various searches which didn't return anything close. One things you could do is change your status to a new quote when you are on the site and it will tell you when you were here last? Or make sure to post a little something whenever you are here just to be able to look at your recent/last posts on your profile to see when you are here. Even if you just post something to a game in the Restaurant? Sorry, but I will keep my eye out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
