Yeah, I get that too. If I leave MKO on, and go away from my computer, I come back and my visit counter has gone up. Also when I make post / create thread, and I'm kind curious as how it all works? But I've seen mods in other threads, swear that it is just a visit counter. I'm with GrinningEvilDeath, whats the truth?

I'm not a MOD but I think it's only when you post on a forum.

Hell if I know. I'm always logged in too. I've only logged out about 3 times this month.

I made two more posts since this one and my visit counter is still at 666.

BTW, I didn't mean to ignore the other members of this forum on the visit issue. It just seemed natural for me to ask one of the mods, but I'm sure some of you know as well. 'K?

The main forum page refreshes every minute or so, perhaps that has something to do with it.. I am not really too sure tho

It is a visit counter.

The reason why sometimes the counter reacts to posts and/or 'visits' in which you do not leave the forum is simple. If you remain on a part of the site that does not refresh, you will go idle and thus appear offsite when you actually may be reading something or posting. Both of these actions require you visit pages which do not refresh, and thus, when you refresh or go to a new page you generally receive a visit.

Close Crow. The system only gives you a visit if you are deemed to have come back after leaving the site. This means you have been away from the site for a set time limit. Once that limit has passed, you have left the site and if you return, you get another visit. If you keep visiting pages within that limit, you were reading something or looking over a page, and it is therefore not counted as a visit.

Thank you both for clearing that up .

Pretty much exactly the way Ghaleon explained it to me. Let's say you hit "Sign Out." If you go see which users are online, YOU still appear there as being signed into MKO and you remain there for a certain amount of time, just like CCS explained. Now how long that time limit lasts is beyond me, but maybe one day that I'm extremely bored (more so than usual), I'll try a little trial and error
