There was a similar thread recently where a member posted their explanation of how it works - but I don't understand it. Lol. Perhaps you will

thank you i had a read and that says to me Fabs is an old system, well i think we all know that lol.Clunky isnt the word!.. ... using an efficient old way of storing up messages / updates etc and then refreshing the system every 5 mins or so rather than instant updates which are data/memory hungry (ie exspensive) ... which fits with the issue i raised..Shes online now ... she logs off but the system doesnt update for 5 mins then .. shes not online now. hers the geeky explanation...... Cache memory is a small, high-speed memory component that stores frequently accessed data to speed up computer performance. It acts as a buffer between the CPU and main memory (RAM), allowing the processor to retrieve data much faster than if it had to go to the slower RAM or hard drive each time. When the CPU needs data, it first checks the cache; if the data is there (a cache hit), it's retrieved instantly, which significantly improves the system's overall speed and efficiency. |

Fab is not an "instant messaging" service. Also, just because people appear online, it doesn't mean they are going to read, and reply to, messages instantaneously. If the message is time-sensitive and you have other ways of contacting them, use the other method. |

You lost me at 'memory component'! Lol.
But thank you |

I completely agree with this. I think a lot of people expect instant replies if they see you're online. I can be on here for two hours, if I don't want to open messages, I won't. Sending repeat messages will just annoy me.

I frequently don't look at my messages every day or time that I'm on Fab. It's irritating when people expect that their message grinds everything I'm doing, to a halt, so that I can give them attention.
If I wanted immediate contact. I'd be in cam chat. It still is probably not with everyone who wants it.
Immediate me.me,me isn't the way to be alluring and to foster interest.
The only improvement I'd like is to have an on/off option, for showing online. |

People are on and offline all the time. Messages will (or won't) get read when people get round to it.
Some people are online but reading forums, or having a long message chat with a friend, or whatever.
Usually though I think people look like online for 5 mins or so after they've gone. |
