New entries since: Tue Oct 22 10:56:27 2013

 

this occurs with different browsers and PC's

For other users it works as described in this forum post ...

"When you are active browsing entries, your activity is recorded (only the time) in the password file. Now when you are inactive for more than one hour, you are considered "logged out", and your last activity is taken as a filter for new entries. That means you see new entries since your last activity in the logbook. " https://midas.psi.ch/elogs/Forum/1612

Sure it will be stuck on a date/time, until you show "inactivity". So wait for >1h, and then check again. You will see the time updated.

 Hi Stefan,

well I just logged on tonight after being "inactive"  (away from work) for two days and the "Show only new entries" button is still stuck at "Tue Oct 22 10:56:27 2013". 

Could it be that I am have left myself logged in on another machine somewhere?

How does ELog determine "activity"?

Regards

Mark.

 I just had a look in the password file and found ...

 <full_name>Mark Campbell</full_name>

    <last_logout>Tue Oct 22 10:56:27 2013</last_logout>

    <last_activity>Wed Nov  6 01:17:08 2013</last_activity>

    <inactive>0</inactive>

 
So it appears that the <last_logout> tag is not being updated.
