Sorry to say it, but it's not accurate all the time anyway.  I checked it for myself, and sometimes it says I've been signed on for hours (I forget to sign out), I haven't been back to the board for hours, but it says I have no minutes being idle.  

A couple of times I checked to see if someone was signed on because I wanted to communicate with them in some way, and it didn't show them.  But I went to the forums  and there they were - "posted 2 minutes ago".  

Now I've discoverd that there are two alphabetical groups.  I searched for myself in the first one until the end of the alphabet, and then the alphabet started over!  So I just don't pay attention to it any more.

I never log off either Smaug.  I hadn't noticed that they were tracking us.  I do remember seeing a setting, though, where you can change it so no one knows you're logged on.  It's under My Settings, Preference, Privacy, Show Online Status.

If "tracking" means robo-counting by software, yes - there isn't a site on the internet that doesn't do that. If you think it means humans are following you every minute you're on QVC's sites and taking notes - not hardly. That's not even remotely realistic or plausible. Anyone who believes this is some special nefariousness created just by QVC doesn't get around the internet often.

Wow! How long has that been there?

I always feel like somebody's watchin' meeeeee! Oh oh oh oh!

You can select under your settings- preferences- privacy to show always offline whether you are or not

LOL, most boards have these capabilities and much more.   You'd be shocked what you can see in the control panels.   I'm pretty sure Q isn't stalking anyone, they do have other things to do.

Thank you Tenners! I hadn't seen that, but I did set up my privacy to not show that when we first switched to this new forum.

And everytime you email someone, you give them your ip.
