in reply to Can a user be both logged out & logged in at the same time ?

Questions about the caching of the Other Users Nodelet are so common. As we're still getting these, maybe someone could make About the Other Users Nodelet even cleaner?

    I agree, someone probably could, and should.

    OTOH, if the question comes up that frequently, perhaps it should be addressed by a FAQ.

      How is it possible for people to not understand that a nodelet's contents are cached when it ends with "As of 2009-10-02 20:45 GMT"? Probably because they don't even bother to read to the end of the nodelet. Will they then read a sitefaqlet? Seems unlikely. I don't see this as a problem that needs to be "solved", though. Trying to prevent all "stupid" (or "unnecessary") questions just leads to one's own unhappiness. :)

      If site documentation is unclear or incomplete, updates are, of course, appreciated.
