Is it just me, or is there an unusual number of "anonymous" viewers of CPF tonight? Glad to have them of course, and I hope that they join CPF.

Seems like in the middle of the day, there are way more anonymous viewers than registered.

cheese

Actually, this is good. Sooner or later, like me, they join.

Actually the mid-day crowd are most likely members browsing the site from someone else computer (read work)

Well, the ratio has dropped and more members 3:2 than anonymous. Maybe they are signing up. It's quick, easy and you can make up a silly moniker.

Do registered users who browse the board in "invisible" mode show as "anonymous" or do they just not show up at all in the numbers?

They just don't show up, to you anyway /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Hmmm... I'll have to test that out. I thought that they showed up in the numbers but when you click on "Who's Online", they don't show up? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thinking.gif

Ok... I went on my husband's computer... he doesn't have my powers... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grinser2.gif ... and I found that the number of invisible users online IS reflected in the numbers shown at the bottom of the Main Index page. And what's really kind of odd is that it is reflected at the top of the list on the "Who's Online" page as well. But if you actually count the number of registered users online, it will not match what the number is at the top of the list or on the front page.

So in conclusion... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif ... The numbers indicated are correct and include every user browsing the board at that time... invisible or not. But the "Who's Online" page only shows users who are not in invisible mode.

i never knew about the "who's online" feature.

pretty neat.

why would anyone want to be "invisible"?

maybe someone famous is browsing!
