Hi there,
Can I ask how exactly MyBB sessions work? I am familiar with the database structure of mybb_sessions. My question: is the database updated every time a user clicks somewhere on the forum with the time and location? Can this not be too resource heavy?
Thanks,
Jordn

Yes.

No. There are way more resource hungry things than a single simple UPDATE query per page visit.

That's all I needed to know. Thanks, Destroy666!
Some people have discussed changing the engine type to memory, but that may not work for large forums with lots of activity.
