"Currently Viewing" section lagging

Reproducibility:

Yes.

Repro Steps:

View a thread in the Folding forum. An active one if possible.

Keep refreshing the page, and watch the "Currently Viewing" section.

Even though people are posting replies, that section does not update.

Expected:

For it to actually show who is viewing the thread.

Notes:

Two comments:

1) I've only noticed this in the Folding forum, but I've not been looking closely in other ones.

2) A recent release (I think 2 back, but maybe 3) had a fix which involved this bug in "certain" forums. It may be that the Folding forum was also affected, but not fixed.

Even though there have been a couple of dozen replies, each refresh shows the same people:

Bump.

Able to do sure, but you want me to get a 20-minute long video? It shouldn't be too hard to confirm - the CC threads are quite active. Open one of them, then come back in 20 minutes; odds are the viewing users will be the same.

For example, I saw you in there last night - I don't think you were there for long, but your name was still listed for 15 minutes (at which point I left).

I can try and get a video made this weekend.

Just for the record, for these cases, how long should it take for the name to be removed from the "Currently Viewing" section? And can the answers factor in the general lag between updating too please? Because there's no point being told they should be removed right away, but the lag keeps it there for up to 5 minutes...

1) The user closes the tab and opens another thread elsewhere.

2) The user goes to another thread within the same tab.

3) The users closes out of the browser while on the thread.

For vB, it was:

1) Instant.

2) Instant.

3) 15 minutes (until user logged out).

I can do some proper testing with threads and see if it's the general Huddler lag causing it, or something more specific to some subforums.

Cool. I won't be able to do anything until Saturday anyway. :)

Yeah, spoke to SJ about this. It's a known issue, and the widget needs to be redone completely. Hopefully it'll be soon after the mobile site, but obviously, no ETA.
