UBB.threads PHP Forum Software Community Forums UBB.threads 6 Version 6 Support many users in "Checking who's online"

I notice that I have many user who just let their browser on the "Checking who's online" page.
I wonder how much it would load my server and if there is any way I can limit the query there, like with "Search" feature when you can search only after xx seconds.

I'm using 6.5.1.1

Thank you for any help on that.

This would require an edit of the refresh time in the online.php script. It it set to refresh every 60 seconds by default. Open the online.php file and search for "refresh". You'll see the 60 on the same line. Change it to how many ever seconds you would like the page to refresh.

Thank you DLWebmaestro.
I found two lines with "60" on it. One I'm sure is the one you talked about:
$html -> send_header($ubbt_lang['ONLINE_HEAD'],$Cat,"<meta http-equiv=\"Refresh\" content=\"600;url={$config['phpurl']}/online.php?Cat=$Cat\" />",$user);
I changed to 600

Now would you know what the other line does?:
$Outdated = $html -> get_date() - ($config['onlinetime'] * 60 );


Thank you for your help.

That second bit purgest outdated items from the online table....thus if you show activity for 10 minutes, it purges any records older than 10 minutes (so your online list is accurate).

Don't alter that one.
