re: #826 Hecuba’s daughter

You were on the thread but if you left that browser session open, you would remain on that thread even when you were out shopping at Chico’s and didn’t return to your computer till midnight.

I always thought the script would look for some sort of thread activity (e.g. commenting, dinging, or clicking some other button), and if that didn’t happen after 30 minutes, your username would drop off the list. But only Charles (if he really *is* here) can confirm that (and I don’t think it’s something I could test for myself, because even if I left this tab open and came back 2 hrs later, clicking the “Show Users” button to see if my name is still on the list…would show my name because I engaged in the activity of clicking the button)
