Look on the bottom of the main page, it says:

Total Members: 7173

Then if you put your mouse over your username in a post, it will give you the link to the profile, which contaions your member number at the end.

MC, you're number is 4248. Hover your mouse over your profile name and look at the target URL. The "u=" parameter is your user member number.

As for the gift, how about some burnt-out 40-watt light bulbs? Semi-used.

cholin · « **Reply #17 on:** May 14, 2005, 09:23:57 pm »

Im sure he would appreciate an Air Guitar...maybe a time machine....

SirWoogie, if you say they're haunted and sell em on ebay.........

So I've got a question about this now.

If saint is nuber 167 whos number 1?

I would have just figured he'd be #1, If its top secret though you can just tell me to go to post hell or something.

AlanS17 · « **Reply #19 on:** May 17, 2005, 12:55:41 pm »

I'm #572... Maybe I spend too much time here...

Oh, I think that award may go to someone else

AlanS17 · « **Reply #21 on:** May 17, 2005, 03:48:17 pm »

I don't know how accurate those measures are. I don't know what basis they use for calculating. I have my login set to always be online. I only set the timer when I'm not at my own machine. I think that's the difference. Otherwise, there would be a LOT of people with more time put in than him.

ray_slup · « **Reply #22 on:** May 17, 2005, 08:10:47 pm »

I believe it got reset when they changed the boards?

Bones · « **Reply #23 on:** May 17, 2005, 08:30:58 pm »

I also think the numbers have more to do with your activity rather than just being logged in.

Exactly. There is some kind of time-out where no activity causes your "Time Online" clock to stop counting.

I was in 10th place at one point and actively worked my way up to 5th by changing pages, threads etc. Just having my computer on or even having BYOAC in an open IE window didn't do it.

Perhaps a mod/admin will explain how it works.... or just leave it as one of the mysteries of BYOAC

SirPeale · « **Reply #25 on:** May 18, 2005, 08:04:22 am »

Heck, I don't have a clue. I would think that Paige or myself would have more online time than Drew, but it doesn't work that way I suppose.

Only SirWoogie knows for sure

sirwoogie · « **Reply #27 on:** May 18, 2005, 04:14:27 pm »

There isn't much documentation on this feature. Best I can tell from the source code is it updates your session time with every activity you do on the forum (click a link, post something, etc.). If that activity time is within 15 minutes and you make an action, it keeps the counter going. After 15 minutes, it sets the clock back to 0. This is separate and distinct from your Session Timeout for the password cookie.

For example, if you clicked on a link at noon, then clicked on another link an hour later, you'd have about 1 second of activity logged and registered (time it took the system to display the next page, minimum is 1 second). If you clicked on a link, and then 10 minutes later clicked on another, it would register 10 minutes. Make sense?

As to the member ID number, nobody owns #1. That is blank. I might do up a database update to move saint to that spot, but we'll see.

#2 goes to an inactive account by _gyruss_. The honor of #3 goes to an active member... 1UP.

Unless... *dun da dahhhhh* it was #6 the whole time, wasn't it?
