LukeJavan8 Carpal Tunnel Registered: 06/23/08 Posts: 5272 Loc: Land of the Flat Water	Jackie, or anyone who knows, it says in the box on the right which may change at any time, that "Who's Online" 1 registered 1 invisible along with 64 guests. Question: what is an invisible registered poster??? _________________________ ----please, draw me a sheep----

I don't trust that listing too far, though: sometimes I show up when I'm here, and sometimes I don't! (figure that one out)

tsuwm Carpal Tunnel Registered: 04/03/00 Posts: 10463 Loc: this too shall pass	Originally Posted By: Jackie sometimes I show up when I'm here, and sometimes I don't! (figure that one out) try this: if you leave yourself logged in you would think you'd always show up as registered online; but I think after a time, if you don't post, you 'vanish' and then the next time you come here, although you're still logged in, you don't show up in the list until you post again. or maybe it's all just random (not likely, this being a deterministic environment, and all that). -joe (if computers weren't deterministic, how could we rely on them) friday

Anyone who shows up while you're there will see you in the list, whether you see you or not. If you reload enough pages, you start showing up in new pages, because the system finally realizes that you're tired of being treated like a nobody. Peter

Candy Pooh-Bah Registered: 09/21/10 Posts: 1705 Loc: down under	also, it takes a while to show your name in the 'Who's Online' box, but your smiley lights up in the threads, so others will notice. And, sometimes I come back (after signing off) and it is showing me still online. You can get more up to date info by clicking on the 'Who's Online' and it takes you to a page that shows who's around and what everybody is looking at. This page updates every few minutes. But the invisible people chose to go incognito..they are members not visitors and you only know when they are on line if they post something LOL

Well, for heaven's sake--I did not know that! Thank you! Right now I and about fifty anonymouses are looking at things.
