Logged in without being logged in?

Hi

I hope Slava can answer my question:

How is it possible to be listed as logged in on the forum website when one hasn't yet logged in?

Thanks

Hi Amy, the login information is updated once every 5 minutes only. So if you log off, your profile will appear for 5 minutes as online (logged in). By the way is there a difference between logged on and logged in?

Thanks, Slava.

I used "logged in" since that is what the forum software seems to want (at the top of the page).

I guess I'd tend to say "log on" when I make my internet connection, and "log in" for something like a forum. But I'm no techie, so I may be erring there.
