Shopsmith Forums

The membership here seems to have dramatically changed their logon habits over the last week or so. There are far fewer members active on the forum at any given time as compared to what has been. I am not accustomed to being the only one logged on; even at 3:00am there was usually a half dozens members.

Aah, I am no longer alone here. BuckeyeDennis has just come to the party. At least I know that the system is working.

Not surprised at the reduced numbers following this dramatic change in the forum software. It had a bit of a learning curve for me. Shopsmith owners tend to be a pretty tenacious bunch so I suspect the numbers will bump back up as members get used to the new look/organization/buttons etc.

I think you might be correct with the assumption BUT I have also noticed something else. In the area where you click on WHO IS ONLINE, read that statement with attention to the phase (based on users active over the past 5 minutes). That may result in my name disappearing when I go to get a snack or when SWMBO calls for me to do something constructive. I leave without logging off but I become 'inactive' thus I may become 'unlisted'.

If this is correct - the statistics are for 'time now' much more realistic.
