Title: Who's Always Hiding? Post by: stroh on January 17, 2007, 08:39:23 PM Every time I look at the main page, I see : Users, lurkers, spiders, and 1, or 2 members hiding.
What's that about? Title: Re: Who's Always Hiding? Post by: Fuzzy on January 17, 2007, 08:47:27 PM [sm_anon]

Title: Re: Who's Always Hiding? Post by: Oldprof on January 18, 2007, 03:09:42 AM If a member looks at the site without logging in does that constitute "hiding?" I sometimes drop by to see if there are any new messages of interest. Sometimes I don't log in if I don't see anything I want to reply to.

No, then you would be counted as a lurker I believe. :) Title: Re: Who's Always Hiding?

I wonder if there isn't something in profile "settings" that does: hide online status from others. Or something like that. The hider, may not even know that he/she is hiding.

Title: Re: Who's Always Hiding? Post by: stroh on January 18, 2007, 06:54:00 AM Ah. I think I figured it out.
It has to be The Uber Reichsmarschal(l) in charge of the ministry of death squads, and Help and Site Suggestions. Title: Re: Who's Always Hiding? Post by: Blader on January 18, 2007, 06:59:45 AM Ah.

[sm_shock] I just found it. It is a check box in your account settings. I just hid. It was dark and scary so I came back out. Title: Re: Who's Always Hiding?

Post by: stegerman on January 18, 2007, 11:33:28 AM I like the closet. It's warm and snuggly.
Title: Re: Who's Always Hiding? Post by: spacey on January 18, 2007, 11:38:09 AM I like the closet. It's warm and snuggly. Dude, you might as well come out. We all know you're in there. Title: Re: Who's Always Hiding? Post by: Clive on January 18, 2007, 11:43:10 AM Every time I look at the main page, I see : Users, lurkers, spiders, and 1, or 2 members hiding. Is there a difference between the list at the bottom of the home page and the member list (sorted by online status)?What's that about? Title: Re: Who's Always Hiding?

One of the hiders is the admin account since I mainly use that account for site administration and maintenance. I'll logon with it now to see how where it shows up. Title: Re: Who's Always Hiding?

Yep, looks the same. Title: Re: Who's Always Hiding? Post by: dystopia on January 18, 2007, 12:07:08 PM Oh yeah, I made a change related to this yesterday. If someone has more than 1,000 posts, they now show up as grey in the "who's online" list and also the "who's online" page.
No real reason for it, just testing out the setting. Most sites that use this feature seem to put prolific posters in a bright color to make them stand out, but I thought it would be interesting to turn that on its head and make high post count folks show up in a fainter color. I'll probably change it back so that everyone shows up as the same color again, I don't want it to end up like the users online list at golfdiscussions where there are so many colors it's hard to read.

I'm gonna use that if I get arrested over Jessica Simpson. "I was just lurking" ;D Title: Re: Who's Always Hiding? Post by: Spanky on January 18, 2007, 06:38:38 PM Can one truly hide?
