Lets go, newbie-post!  I wonder what the site uses to determine that you are idle, vs just reading stuff on a page...

My guess is it has some server-side timeout, where you need to cause some post back to refresh the idle countdown.

I can say refreshing the page every 10 seconds for 3 hours works great...

The time for checking activity is weird. I have 1.25 hours but I have spent far more time reading and surfing here.

When my computer goes to sleep after idle time the clock stops and I think the internet connection goes to idle. Which can be a good security feature.  If I am just idle on this site but still using the computer this clock keeps running.

Does this have to be the active tab? I left this open while doing other things for over an hour, came back to refresh, and the "total time logged in" didn't change at all.

Do you need both 5 postings and 4 hours online continuously?

4 hours of actively logged in total. I came back after 8 hours idle to this: "Total time logged in: 35 minutes." What trash.

Not trash... Good idea! - stops people idling there way through!

Wish I had registered a while ago, but for some reason I didn't expect these kinds of rules to be in place. I've been lurking here for months.

This is my 5th post.

Makes sense to me. With other forums did things this way.
