Question: what is an invisible registered poster??? ----please, draw me a sheep---- Re: registered invisible [Re: LukeJavan8] #201987 08/22/11 05:38 PM 08/22/11 05:38 PM Joined: Jun 2005 Posts: 131 Oregon va-vavoom member va-vavoom   member Joined: Jun 2005 Posts: 131 Oregon maybe it is a guest that was eaten by one of those spiders! ~===,===,=^=< Re: registered invisible [Re: va-vavoom] #201992 08/23/11 12:29 AM 08/23/11 12:29 AM Joined: Jun 2008 Posts: 9,160 Land of the Flat Water LukeJavan8 OP Carpal Tunnel LukeJavan8   OP Carpal Tunnel Joined: Jun 2008 Posts: 9,160 Land of the Flat Water Probably as good an explanation as any! ----please, draw me a sheep---- Re: registered invisible [Re: LukeJavan8] #202000 08/23/11 03:09 AM 08/23/11 03:09 AM Joined: Mar 2000 Posts: 11,613 Louisville, Kentucky Jackie Carpal Tunnel Jackie   Carpal Tunnel Joined: Mar 2000 Posts: 11,613 Louisville, Kentucky [snort]! It means that someone has chosen in their Preferences not to have their name show when they're here. 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) 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 Re: registered invisible [Re: tsuwm] #202003 08/23/11 07:24 AM 08/23/11 07:24 AM Joined: Jun 2005 Posts: 131 Oregon va-vavoom member va-vavoom   member Joined: Jun 2005 Posts: 131 Oregon I often don't show up.

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.

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 Re: registered invisible [Re: Tromboniator] #202018 08/23/11 03:51 PM 08/23/11 03:51 PM Joined: Jun 2008 Posts: 9,160 Land of the Flat Water LukeJavan8 OP Carpal Tunnel LukeJavan8   OP Carpal Tunnel Joined: Jun 2008 Posts: 9,160 Land of the Flat Water Originally Posted By: Tromboniator If you reload the page you're visiting you show up in the list.
