Okay, so... I regularly have really odd questions, and today, I was wondering what order the currently active users are in I've tried refreshing the page, and the order doesn't change, so I presume it's not random. Thanks, and sorry for coming up with the weirdest questions.
I was actually wondering that as well. I think it may be who has been online the longest in one period of time. EC normally seems to stay open for ages on my iPhone.
Perhaps the order they signed in? 0.o I'm just taking a wild guess, because it's not alphabetic... I'm wondering too now! XD
I know that I'm always the first name of mine. But like others have said, the order doesn't change, because I used to assume it's who clicked last, in which case, your own computer would always keep yourself as the first, but if it worked that way, everyone's names would change. I do not know.
I think it is supposed to be most recent activity. Those nearer the top have done something (such as viewed a thread) more recently than those further down. I don't know how accurate it is though. People who leave without logging out will remain on there for up to an hour before they time out. They should gradually drop down the list before they go.
