Invisible Users
 

Ive just been browsing the site and seeing whos online when i was that there was 1 invisible user online!?
I obviously know what members are and guests are who browse but dont register
But what are invisible users and what is the point in them? :conf:

When you sign in you can do so and be invisible... but I like to know who is online so i dont do it

Ooooooo im invisable!!!

im invisable!!!

Oooooo

how do u do it?
not that i want too
can u find out who the invisible user is?

Just a quick question..... why would you want to be invisable???

i dont i said in my post above i dont want to be
its just strange that some people do it and i just wondered how u do it and if u can find out who the invisible user is - just inrigued :spin2:

I go invisible fairly often. You can tell when someone's invisible, they post but the site doesn't list them as being online recently.

o rite

Oh, right! Is that why your always 'offline' when you post?

You're only invisible to other members, though. Admin will still be able to see you.

I still dont understand why anyone would want to be invisible :conf:

You may have had an argument with someone, or want to make a flying visit without receiving U2U's when you're spotted online. Or (a situation I had on another forum a few years ago) there could be another member making you feel uncomfortable with flirting, etc.

I appear invisible when i am on online (usually doing other things) but do check every hour or so for new posts or whatever.

I don't always intend to be invisible, it's just a habit I've developed. When I log in, I automatically click the 'invisible' box without realizing. Though I've been doing that a bit less, recently.

So where's the invisible box?

when you sign in... it's at the bottom.... or you can go into your profile I think and select the option there

You obviously figured it out then... lol xxx

yeah, lol.

:elephant:

But the Who's Online box doesn't work like that. After a period of inactivity, your name will disappear from the box. I don't know how long that is here, but the norm is generally 15 minutes.
