Hi everyone, I’m pretty new to Discourse (migrated recently from phpBB), and I’ve been trying to wrap my head around how things work here. Some of it makes perfect sense, but other parts are still a bit confusing – like sudden flashes of clarity followed by total “what the hell is this” moments. R…

Answered by our CEO a few years ago :slight_smile: [תמונה] Last visit red line not moving on meta Our definition of visit is here: discourse/app/models/user.rb at 175f6f6a14248b7997818daf5050fe2f45118e13 · discourse/discourse · GitHub So we consider it a “previous visit” if there is more than …

Just to add some more context: We’re all seeing the “last visit” line in exactly the same spot, between the same two posts — across all user accounts. It’s not personalized, which seems strange. As for Sidekiq: based on the screenshots, it does appear to be running fine — the graphs are updating, …

It looks like the red “last visit” line appeared in the exact same spot for all users. What’s the logic behind that? Is it intentional? Is it a bug? I honestly don’t understand it — it seems counterintuitive. I would have expected that line to reflect each user’s individual reading history, but …

Sidekiq is commonly idle, yes. Here’s the graph from the last minute or so on Meta, which is a fairly big forum. [Screenshot 2025-06-20 at 14.16.59] [תמונה] Crocodilus_CZ: We’re all seeing the “last visit” line in exactly the same spot, between the same two posts — across all user accounts. I…

I’m self-hosting Discourse on a VPS at Vultr. No CDN or proxy like Cloudflare is configured — at least nothing I’ve intentionally set up. It should be a fairly standard setup with just NGINX as the web server. Everything else seems to be working fine — Sidekiq is running (shows as idle, but graphs…

[תמונה] Crocodilus_CZ: Is there anything that could cause that on a fresh install? Maybe something related to how sessions or visit tracking is initialized? Nothing that I’m aware of, but this goes beyond my skillset :slight_smile: Are you sure that it is behaving erroneously though? There a…

Honestly, I’m not even sure how that red “last visit” line is supposed to work, so I can’t really say if this is normal or not. It just caught my attention because several users (including me) saw it in exactly the same spot – which felt odd. But now someone else just shared a screenshot showing t…

Ah, that explains a lot — thanks! I didn’t realize the “last visit” marker is tied to a 1-hour threshold. I kept logging in and out, clearing cache, refreshing, etc., and the line just sat there like it was glued in place. :sweat_smile: Makes total sense now. Appreciate the clarification — it wasn…

האם זה נורמלי ש-Sidekiq יהיה במצב סרק? חדש ב-Discourse, לא בטוח אם משהו לא בסדר
