Why is there a "Hidden" person lurking the board? Should that setting be allowed? Don't we have enough worries with all the Troll BS? There is NO reason to be "hidden" on these boards.
Opinions anybody?

Probly one of the Mods?
-
there's a little check box on profile where you can let people know that you are online - but I think your name would still appear even if it doesn't say you're online - mods what do you think?......................... ???

Well you know we seem to attract the bad with the good
-
It could be anyone. I don't often let myself be identified on all - jeez - 8 boards I visit either, but in our case we've all been so exasperated with trolls, I stay visible.
And if it is a troll? F--k 'em.

It could very well be someone from the Brokeback Mountain Open Forum, the one that already existed on Phillip's site. We can wander over there and vice versa, everything's open to anyone.

Hi... I actually don't think I ever saw something like that before. The only thing I think it *could* be is if someone has clicked off the box Show others your online status? which turned on by default under Profiles. You guys can experiment with that and see if that is it. I only run the forum and I don't even know what everything does. ;D
Let me know if that's what it is.

OK, I turned off the visible thing. Now for me as an admin, my name is in italics (so I can still see who people are regardless.) Someone with regular settings let me know if you see a hidden user right now. That would be me. I will lurk here for a few minutes until someone replies.

Anyone?

I see a hidden user, Philip. Leslie

Thanks... that solves that one. They might appear hidden to you, but they aren't hidden to me, so I wouldn't worry too much about it. If it gets abuse, I'll turn it off. I like to assume the best intentions of people until I'm proven wrong. :)

At this moment, there are 2 hidden users. L

Hidden person is still there. Interesting choices of threads that they've been viewing.

It's okay. I can see who it is. Their name shows up in italics, so that is how I know who is hidden and who isn't.
