    When I tried to view whose online, I saw my user name twice. Is the Ages and Terra Arcanum forum different?

    To tell you the truth, I'm not entirely sure how that works. I haven't really looked at the code for the "who's online" portion...

    Is that really happens in PHP? At Tarant Daily's message board, it's the same. Multiple Who's Online username.

    I think it works something like this: The Who's online thing considers users "active" if they've done something in the past 15 minutes. If you leave and come back right away, then it might see you as being logged in more than once. Or something like that, I'm not sure.

    Either way, it's a harmless quirk as far as I know. Nothing bad results from the forum thinking there are 2 friend_als at the same time.
