Small php web page problem

Hi

I hope I'm posting this in the correct section.

My sister made a small php web site with a forum styled similar to this one.

The only problem she has is that after approx two min's the names or I/D of those who are on-line disappear from the bottom of the home page etc.

She's discovered that the names do re-appear, if the member (or guest) clicks their mouse to move the page up or down or move on to a different page or subject in her web site.

Normally the most she has online at any one time is about 3 or 4 members.

Can anyone please advise how to remedy this

Thanks heaps
Abigail

I would assume that names appearing and disappearing is normal behaviour for a forum?

Most forums mark you as inactive after a certain amount of time of you not interacting with it (otherwise it doesn't know if you've gone away and just left the browser open), you may be able to adjust this depending on which forum it is.
