it shows only 3 members who are the other 4 and how can they hide!!!

 

[Dash]

There is an option in your profile thingo to show if your status should be revealed or not

*I fink*

 

[Lazarus]

Ayup. Invisible mode.

 

[Dash]

Why do you have that option in there anyway?

Its kinda crappy

 

[SoFTuaRiaL]

because the mods/admins can delete posts without us even knowing that they are there .....

 

[Benno]

dun worry, its not just them. i'm always on invisible too

 

[Rahul]

yep same...i did it for fun once, and havent been bothered to change it...

umm...i think some online privacy thing might be the reason for havign that option.

 

[Butterfly_Wings]

I don't get the point of that option for regular members.
Admins and Moderators perhaps...but not the rest of us.

so that "popular" members like me dont get too many pms when i'm online

 

[fatmuscle]

we see all though

 

[iambored]

so the admins can see everyone online? i suppose it's necessary

 

[Rahul]

yep thats correct.

well taking me for example... i sometimes leave the site up when i go to grab something to eat or am on the phone or whatever... so its just easier to appear as though i am not here to prevent confusion... not that anyone would give a shit but just incase say someone posts something to me in a thread and i dont reply so that they dont think that im just not replying cause i cant be fucked or whatever... its just convenient i guess

I went invisible about two weeks ago so people wouldn't know whether or not I'm reading their posts and PMs. To be honest, I have always preferred invisible mode, maybe it's a spillover from ICQ in year 8. People only know you're around if you want them to.

 

[Lexicographer]

Hey, can Minai see everyone as well? Or is this one of the few Admin powers he doesn't have?
