Online Users Cache Not Refreshing Correctly

[Migrated From Jforum.net]

Hi Guys!!!

I made the following steps:

1. Open a Firefox window to my local JForum and logged as Admin
2. Open a 2nd Firefox window and logged as another resistered user
2. Open a Internet Explorer (IE) window
3. Open a 2nd IE window...
4. Open a 3rd IE window...
5. It shows at bottom: 5 online users: 2 registered, 3 visitants

Flawless victory!!! It's absolutelly correct!!! But...

6. I closed one IE window and refreshed it at Firefox: no changes!
7. Closed another, and another, and another...: no changes!
8. Closed almost all windows, less one of them: no changes!
9. Logged out Admin: one change! Now it shows: 5 online users: 1 registered, 4 visitants!

It's absolutelly wrong!!! :evil:

I thinked it would be a Cache problem, so I:

10. Logged in again (as Admin) and "cleaned the sessions": now it correctly shows: 1 online users: 0 registered, 1 visitant.

Is it a normal behaviour?

Ow, one more suggestion: the following line is in pt_BR, but is gramatically wrong:

Existem 1 usu��rios on-line: 0 registrados, 1 visitantes(s)

The bold selected text wouldn't be there

The behavior is normal, these non-existant users will disappear once their session expire. About 10min?

The session of the user is still existant although the browser is non-existant. The user will disappear in the gui when his session expires. This is 'the flaw' of using webapplications. There are nog good ways of making this work correctly. HTTP is a request/response mechanism that always start from the browser. It's not like the server can send pings to the client to make sure he is still online.
