"Who is online" is showing me even though I checked [x] Do not show my online status checkbox whilst logging in.

Is that a bug? I remember it was working properly before.

Code:
USERNAME   FORUM LOCATION   LAST UPDATED

I think only administrators with full access to the server can confirm or deny that.

In any case, other "strange" things are that this forum doesn't keep the session "forever" if I check the "Remember me"/"Log-in automatically on each visit", or if the sid variable is removed from the URL, or if I switch from f.osdev.org to forum.osdev.org.

I have a small phpBB3 forum with SQLite3, and it does keep the session forever (although, being SQLite3, it would re-initialize my session, effectively logging me out on every, extremely frequent "database is locked" error; so I had to figure out some phpBB 3.0.11 modifications to session.php which were very difficult for me to achieve at first).

I remember having problems with duplicated guest/logged-in user for my IP in my forum, and I haven't tested hiding my online status (I never do).

But in short, it could be a "bug", or some minor phpBB modification that purposely or accidentally disables permanent log-in and online status hiding.

Only administrators could really say why or why not.

For the session duration, as I understand it is set to last for as long as two weeks maximum.
