Hi girls, the answer is that this old system takes a while to catch up. When you have just logged in, you may not actually be displayed as being online for a few minutes. However, our new site will update instantly but that's still a little way off.
And as you may have read in this month's Tribune, our login sessions have now been extended so you can now stay logged in for 200 hours without needing to enter your user name and password. Closing your browser will not affect this.
However, you can still easily log out if you want to, from the Member Services drop down menu at the top of the page.
Hope that helps.
Hugs, Katie x
