I observed for quite a few months now that my online status is often reversed: If I am online, my activity globe says I am offline and after logging out it turns green and says I am online whereas I just logged out.
Is this a known issue and/or what could cause this ?
Sorry for having missed your first post. I'm not noticing this is the case for my account. So I I have a few general troubleshooting questions to ask before I forward this on to our folks to make them aware this may be an issue.
- What OS/Browser are you using?
- Any pop-up or ad blocking software being used?
- Does this still happen when you try incognito/private window tabs?
- How about when you try a different browser?
Also anyone else noticing the same thing with your accounts?
- I used to use IE and am using now Firefox.
- It happens both not using and using it/ not having any and having some
- Yes, it seems not to influence the issue or at least I did not see a difference
- It remains the same
To go a bit more into detail, I notice the issue with my online status when I view my profile and then log off ( the tab opened with my profile).
The one of the following cases occur:
Event 1: Online status was green/online and remains as such
Event 2: Online status was green/online and becomes red/offline ( supposed to)
Event 3: Online status was red while logged in and becomes green/online after logging out.
Event 1 happens often and Event 3 on a regular basis.
I think I also saw a red-red combination, but if so, very rarely.
I do not see it a critical issue, but I was wondering what could cause this.
I can also try to take some screenshots if that could help.
Thanks for the follow up info! It doesn't look like any of the troubleshooting steps that I can offer would not be much help with this one.
I'll make sure I get this over to someone that can better look into what may be going on with this tomorrow. Most everyone is already out of the office for the day.
Thanks again for the details and for helping us try and troubleshoot what may be going on.
I saw a Online-Online combo, too, in the mean-time. I logged out and it showed me as still online. The majority is Offline-Online though, described as Event 3 previously.
