I wonder why?
« on: March 07, 2012, 09:07:56 am »
I have noticed lately that a large number of people with user accounts browse as guests.
Is there a technical problem, or is it there is pressure to not be seen on this forum?

If anyone has forgotten their password or in need of other assistance,

remove the "dot" obviously , this is to try to slow down email harvesters that will spam it to death.

I have my visibility turned "off" or I think I do so maybe that is an option to be cloaked?

Anyway, doesn't seem to be anything to be concerned about. If I wasn't one of the original rebels I would never sign in, either.  ;D :D

Tom

Never tested it and I think admins can see everyone cloaked or not?

 ;D  Guilty as charged.   If I would have known the forum police were patrolling heavy, I would have gone into super-stealth mode. ;)
Not that I know how!

Personally, I've been working at home lately and it's just a routine. Have a few sites I scan through and go on. I could stay always logged on if I'm messing with any stats or anything.

If I am at work I will appear as a guest (I think) until such time as I log in to post or reply.

  Can't help you, don't remember ever doing it.  I do sometimes look at who's reading the same post,
and have seen x number of guests.

Was just an observation I happened upon when I was making sure things were working as they should.
A few things kinda seemed worth investigation, this was one of them.

I was hoping it was not a problem, seems it is not.

Again thanks for the replies, it helps me be sure all is working as intended.

A. It smells funny!

   It's a funny thing how the mind does associations:
   When I see Ghurd's name, I see his big toe :)
   When I see Woof's name, I will see his face, with clown's nose :)
   When I see Chris's name I see him with a name tag sticky on his forehead :)
   I think right now, that it is a good thing that I have never seen a pic of Tom, or Ross :o
   Maybe I just need more coffee. ;D
