This is one for the management. Why does it show that people are online when they are not. I looked at some forum posts etc without logging in - then looked at who was online - I was surprised to find I was online - which I wasn't (as I wasn't logged in) What is going on????????

Server refresh can be up to 30 minutes sometimes I think.

every computer has its own ID, an IP number. some sites have you online, because you are, but you have to sign in to use the site.

You will find that if you have not logged out of your account when you shut down your computer the site may keep you logged in!


Therefore when looking from someone else's computer you will see yourself logged in as you did not sign out from your last session.


(Hope that makes sense!)

Think you're probably right RobL, but this is probably one for the mods to answer. I never log out on the computer but always log out on the phone and on the phone I always have to log back in, but on the computer I never do.

It's because Matt sells members details to companies who in turn sell these on to unsavoury individuals. These people are then able to log into your BM account and pretend to be you!!




Note: None of the above is true.

When you login it flags you as logged in, when you log out it removes that flag. If you don't logout then you remain flagged as logged in, although I suppose this would time out after a period of inactivity. You stay logged in on the computer because the cookie on your machine that says you're logged in lasts a couple of weeks or so.

- Sorry for the boring answer ;p

As far as I'm concerned all those places are nearer to Brum than I am so that'll do for me (bet if I checked I'm actually closer but geography never was my strong point lol)


But you wanna try living where I do and being called a scouser Now that is wrong

Clive, if you are clicking on the map, it's not just Brum, it's all of the West Midlands. If you use the full search facility, try putting in your own post code and select the number of mile radius that you would be happy to travel to meet someone. That way, you get the specific areas you want

yes i know but manchester is not in the midlands nor is stratford on avon nether is notingham and below the map it shows the citys and the amount of members i clicked on birmingham showing over 750 members i looked at 10 pages showing as in birmingham out of 100 profiles only 11 were birmingham postcodes its there in plain view for every one to look at thats all i said

The main map shows matches in a 70m radius of B1. The Birmingham link it's 50m radius of B1. Heck, if you cba to travel 50m to hook up with someone then there's not much point looking there ;p
