Can we go back to the 5 mins online status again?

I mean 30 mins (I'm not sure if it's correct) is not great to be honest especially now that we don't have the online list anymore at the bottom of the main page?

What do you guys think?

I think this would be great. I don't like sitting around waiting for a reply when the user is actually offline, but it doesn't say so on their profile until 30 minutes later. It will save a lot of time.

Yes. This is what annoys me the most. ☹️

I know... But the main purpose (I assume) of extending the duration from 5 minutes to 30 minutes was to make that list look larger when it was available on the main page but since it's not available anymore, I don't think there is a reason for this extension anymore.

You can see their last active time on their profile, right below their username/userbar.

Online (Viewing Market Profile @ 09:56 AM)

So I know you were online 3 minutes ago.

I think he means to change the status to "offline" once it's passed the 5-minute mark.

I understand where he's coming from. I thought I was the only one annoyed by it.

I definitely get annoyed waiting for a reply back to a PM just to notice they were offline 30 minutes later

Same concept though. You are already on their profile looking to see if they are online. Look one more inch to the right to see the time. It's right there. 🤯

The time doesn't get updated though. For example, if I leave my PC right now, it's going to say I'm still posting/viewing this thread for the next 30 minutes. The time won't update.

It would be ideal if it put my status to "offline" after 5 minutes of being idle.

Will there be a system in HF where we will see how many people will be online?

It won't update after 30 minutes or 5 minutes regardless unless you refresh the page. Almost all of HF you need to refresh the page to see new content. The exception to that are new features (convo and notify).

EDIT: And you are absolutely correct... the time won't change. So if it is 12:30 and the time you see is 12:10... guess how long they haven't been active? 20 minutes.

It doesn't update... For instance, if I post now and leave my PC, and you go to my profile, and you keep refreshing for 30 minutes, you'll keep seeing that I'm reading this thread.

And I'll also see the time next to it. So what's the problem?

It's not a major problem but it really annoys me and apparently it annoys others as well. If he's away for more than 5 mins, technically he's offline.
