Just in passing, ..I want to know how many of you utilise 'Who's Online' regularly. I once looked in, only to find someone else (I've forgotten who now), looking straight back at me, i.e. under Location it read 'online.pl' for them too. It felt almost like meeting them and being caught red-handed at the same time.

I often use the "Who's Online" feature. I like to see who is on and what they are doing.  If I see that someone is adding a post or replying to a message, I often hang around for a while to see what it is.

a more... interesting... question, perhaps, to the spies amongst us might be: who has modified his profile to *block this feature?

who has modified his profile to *block this feature?well, I had for one because I was not sure what it did and who might be peeking. And then I forgot about it completely. Now I know you are all such great guys [gender neuter emoticon], and been reminded about it, I have switched it to Allow. But I don't know when it takes affect, because when I looked I was not listed. As far as I remember, I have only logged in once a couple of months back. Since then AWAD always knows who I am. Does anyone know exactly what criteria are used? Viewing, Posting, in last 10 minutes? "Allow" set when logging in? Does "Who's Online" show yourself? I don't think so. Can any one see me now?I will check again after this post and update to say what happened. Who's online did not show me so I will logout and back in again. Can't see myself though. No magic mirrors.  All is clear, I hadn't submitted the change properly, oops I can now see myself. Rod the great defective

Oh, BY, how your post made me laugh.
one of my very favorite AWADers and i began our correspondence, and a great friendship, in exactly that way... we were both in "online" at the same time, and were both strangers, IIRC, so the PM i received a few minutes later (asking me if i felt like a voyeur, as well) was one of the first in my inbox =)
Rapunzel, i use it in exactly the same way you do. if someone (usually max, for some reason; i guess our schedules coincide) is showing "new reply", i tend to hang around to read it.
which brings me to my own question:
Is it just me, or do any of you ever spend WAY more time than you intended to in this forum, only because every time you get ready to log out there's another 'NEW' tag, and it's just too hard to resist??

And I tend to look in on "Who" when I seem to be actually  catching up on postings ... usually I discover I'm all by my lonesome-- that's why !

Guilty.
I watch for new users and some of our (cough) more loquacious colleagues so that I might spend yet another minute or two too-long perusing the posts.
