“Last Active” definition in RootsChat
« on: Thursday 24 August 23 22:42 BST (UK) »
I probably shouldn’t admit this but I don’t tend to log out of RootsChat too often.  (I pop in in the morning and usually spend a fairly amount of time here during the night so I don’t log out very often.)

If I don’t log out, and if I don’t click on the RootsChat tab when going on the internet (instead just click on an existing open tab such as Ancestry), will the “Last Active” on RootsChat, for anyone checking when I was last active, show the last time I was actually visiting RootsChat, or will it show the date and time that I last opened non-RootsChat sites?  Huge apologies if that is difficult to understand; I’m still in the dark ages regarding technology and technical terms.

I’m curious because I don’t want folks to think that I’m ignoring their replies - I just haven’t been here.  Thank you in advance for any guidance.

PS. If one should really log out each time so that it doesn’t bog down or something for RootsChat, I will start doing so.

Your "Last Active" time stamp is unique to Rootschat and is not affected by any other sites you visit.

Thank you very much for your reply, RJ_Paton.  I don’t want others to think that their replies to me aren’t worthy of an (a timely) acknowledgement.
