'Total time logged in' feature

[Laura]

Is there a way to turn this off my own settings so I don't have to see how much time I could be spending doing something else?  It only confirms that I spend way too much time reading about fish.....

Seriously though, previously I would just leave myself logged in and hit refresh occasionally (if I'm off making dinner, or if I go out to the park with the kids, I would remain logged in), now I have this weird fixation on trying to keep my number down.

Is this freaky.......am I alone in this...........can I make it go away?

BTW, I keep coming across subtle little features of the new system, that are much improved over the old - overall, a job well done!!

I don't think you can turn this off...But, just think how much you'll be worshipped by the others on the forum for having such a high "logged on" time!

You can always minimize the window altogether.

Unfortunately, you'll loose the Show unread posts since last visit & Show new replies to your posts links.  Not too bad if you keep your user box on the left side open, as they are there as well.  But then again, that window shows total logged in time too!   (just not quite so big)

Im with Laura on this, my concern is should my wife ever come onto this site on my laptop and notice the logged in feature................. well enough said. I allready get flack for being on the net to much and reading about my FISH. LOL

... Just tell her that you frequently leave your browser open to the OVAS web page unattended

At least that's how I justify my 13h51m to myself.

Why don't you all just accept your addiction and learn to live with it?

Actually, I just realized something... that counter doesn't count idle time.

I was "logged in" on my work laptop last night and didn't shut down.  When I came in this morning... I didn't have an extra 12 hours on the counter.

yeah it doesn't have idle time, i realised that about 2 weeks ago, geze get with it BigD. thats good because it is always on my computer and i would have hundreds of min.

[Laura]

Phew!  Thanks guys, that's a relief - no more neurotically turning off OVAS for me.....
But now that means that the really big number at the top of my screen is really how much time I spend on here!!

I'm at 9 h 30 min, how about everyone else?

[jee]

[Underwater]

 Total time logged in: 1 days, 9 hours and 20 minutes.

[squeeker]

Only 17 hrs, 10 minutes... I'm not as addicted as I thought!

1d 2h 9m - I keep tellling my wife that there is a bug in the software and that it overcounts the time.

1d 10hrs 5min

Yikes, I'm in the Top 10

I think not having any work to do yesterday contributed to that a bit...
