Last Active not updating

Post by alisoncc »

For some recently acquired new members to my forum the last active date and time is not updating. Yet some are. Purged all sessions just in case the flag is only updated when they log out without success. Probably a permission not set somewhere.

Last Active is updated when they log in.

Thanks Brf. Very strange. Hour or so ago cleared the cache and session tables, and my system seems to have corrected itself. Two newbies who have just logged in now show last active dates and times. Is there any recommendation as to how often the cache and session table should be cleared?

the only time you should have to clear either one would be if you are having some type of problem.

normally they are both left alone.

This is most odd. Checking individual profiles for new members and their last active date, they are displayed correctly. But the Members list from the bottom of the home page only seems to display some of the last active dates, not all. So I seemingly have new members who have posted but never been active. :o

Almost as if the database itself is being cached, and some functions do not display the latest information. If that make sense.
