I've seen this around but I've never actually taken the time to figure out how it works. I can set a flag when people come into the forums easily enough, but the site can't know when you close your browser as far as I'm aware, so logging you off is the problem.

The way that springs to mind as I sit here partly drunk and waiting for a phone call is to just time-stamp people's accounts whenever they access any page in the forums and then on the site I'd just list any user who's done anything in the past ten minutes. But that would require a lot of extra database activity, so there's probably a more clever way to do it.
