304081 2004-12-16 11:51:00 What is the point of hiding? At the moment there are 3 invisible users trying to hide the fact that they are looking at this site. Why bother?

Doesn't apply to mods or admins though, they have reason enough :)

304082 2004-12-16 11:58:00 Why bother?

Because I think the Who's Online page can be too detailed. I don't particularly fancy, as an example, other users being able to tell when I am changing my password and/or email address.

In other words, I think it's a minor invasion of privacy.

304083 2004-12-16 12:06:00 That's one down, two to go :D

Though I don't use anything related to me be it user/password related. In fact I use same names and stuff on all forums I visit.

304084 2004-12-16 22:50:00 How does one become "invisible"? Do you mean the people who appear as "Guests" in the count? They are just not logged in. Some might not be registered. Some might just want to have a quick look, and will log on only if they want to post something. Graham L (2)
304085 2004-12-16 22:52:00 One simply selects invisible in the control panel,and then their activities can't be monotred by other users,apart from the mods of course. Metla (12)
304086 2004-12-16 23:37:00 so people you have worked up dont see u and start harrasing you via personal message etc noone (22)
304087 2004-12-16 23:48:00 My thinking is more along the line that i don't want people going OMG, Metla has been logged in for 70 hours straight....he has no life,uber loser...etc etc.

Actually,i was hiding from someone who i refused to play a game of CS with as i was going offline.

Lmao.

Meh,Without a word of a lie its because i always imagined my name up in lights,Seeing it displayed in text at the bottem of a forum just reminds me of my failure to dominate the entire world via kick ass rock n freaking roll.

Yeah baby.


Muhahahahahahahaha.

304089 2004-12-16 23:51:00 They can still search for any post by you, click on your username, and send a private message.

Or go to the member list, find you, and send a private message.

Or compose a new private message and put your username in the recipients box.

Probally some life changing catastrophy waiting just around the corner though, Lifes like that.
