Question: Would changing the WWF application object to show users active every 10 minutes to less than this have any kind of server impact? I ask because I've not used the application object previously with any of my projects. I would like to hear both pros and cons for changing. I am wanting to change it for my chat room so that I can use this method instead of using a db to store active users, hense why I need to slash the time from ten minutes. No good my users chatting away at someone who hasn't been active for 8 minutes ... they will want to lynch me

Shouldn't be much server impact from changing session time out. One
problem I could think of would be timing out before a user finishes
writing a long post. They would loose the info they just spent a long
time typing.

would adding a session.timeout statement at the top of the page in question make a difference or would it still revert to the 10 minutes? |

The session length of 10 min for the forum is set in common.asp (I
think) most hosts use the windows default of 20 min. Don't know why the
forum changes it to 10 min. If they open your chat page with a 5 min session timeout, and open a forum page as well, the session timeout will be reset by whatever page loaded last. A way to avoid all this might be to just use a subdomain for either the forum or your chat - e.g. chat.mydomain.com. The you could use global.asa to set whatever session timeout you wanted for the chat domain as it would be a separate application. -------------
