The way this works is to check every 5 minutes if you've been "active" at your computer. Don't worry though, because Chrome is only capable of reporting whether your computer is "active", "locked", or "idle" and [url=https://github.com/dazarobbo/BNextMessenger/blob/master/scripts/status-update-alarm.js#L17-L19]the extension only cares if you're active[/url]. If you're "active" and you've enabled updating your status, your forum status text will be updated to "online-[random numbers]". This is the only time the extension does something on your behalf and it only occurs if you've enabled the option to (which is also disabled by default). You don't need to have the main window open for the updates to occur. However, this hasn't been working correctly due to a bug in Chrome. As a result, [b]if you have the option enabled, your status will continually be updated regardless of whether you're active or not[/b]. For now, just enable and disable the option when you need to.
