"Last Active" = - What happened?

Postby luke » Thu Jan 27, 2022 1:06 am

I was looking at a couple profiles from people who used to be fairly regular - lysi and AllSubNoDub - and noticed their "Last Active" shows a dash.

Does this mean they've inactivated themselves?

Or does it go like that if they haven't been around for some time?

If you log on with the "do not show online" option then the system doesn't register that session for the last active period.

I think I'm still set to that.

Yes, you are. At least I see a dash for you too.

Oh, and by the way, I realized my error in the Yandex translation and updated my reply there. Basically, I think I had the source language set to Greek when I pasted in the Spanish sentence for translation.

So, rather than "Big Brother", perhaps I should have noted that the first two letters of Google coincide with a common term for Divine Providence. By that I mean, He'll let you shoot yourself in the foot if you have a loaded gun pointed at the ground directly below you and you accidently pull the trigger.

I have checked both Lysi and AllSubNoDub, and they are both registered as active - but as far as I can see Lysi hasn't visited the forum since last summer, whereas AllSubNoDub did check in in December. However there are loads of formerly very active users who for unknown reasons become silent (permanently or for some time), and we rarely know the reason.
