| Invisible Members?
I've noticed that when looking at the "currently active" and "active within the past 24 hours" stats, there are a lot of members whose names don't show. It just says "invisible". I'm curious as to how do they do that, and why?

| Go into user CP, then on the left hand side there is the option for 'Edit options' and then 'Use Invisible Mode'  |

| Okay, that answers one part of my question. There is still the "why", though. Also, if the make a post, does it have thier username on it? I don't think I've ever seen any posts by "invisible", so I'm assuming it does show their name on posts.

| Yup, it still shows your name. I'm an invisible user
As for why, I just prefer it. No real reason and if a forum doesn't have that option I don't fret but if it does I take advantage of it. Sent from my iPhone using Petguide.com Free App | |

| | Alpha | OK now I'm wondering... Who does it make you invisible to if your name still shows up on posts? | |

 | I've always used invisible mode on forums. Otherwise you'd all go......jezus murphy, is she STILL on here....... 
Actually it originated with a guy on a hobby forum, he had my phone number and everytime he saw I was online he'd be phoning me.....it was creepy.  | |

She already thinks "we" are all addicted  to the forum..... ("Dobies, dobies, dobies....")
Maybe, then, all the other DT members who are logged in 24/7 won't think I'm obsessed?......  | |

The real question would be: am I actually here, or did I just forget I was here?
