What does the "hidden" user term mean?

In total there is 1 user online :: 1 Registered, 0 Hidden and 0 Guests

you have the option in your profile to set yourself to invisible. What this means is that where it shows who is online, your name won't appear there except to the moderators. Others will know there is someone there with there is a number next to hidden, but they won't know who it is.

Ahhh Gil in the Stealth mode. Fully Cloaked.

Does it work in the ChatBox too?

nope, if you are in chat, everyone can see you

Jay

So, if you log on, then make yourself hidden, you will show up as "hidden" but present. And you will also show up under your log in ID as having been on line during the past two hours, correct?

If so, when I encounter a hidden member, he has to be one of those identified as being on line during the past two hours - do I have that right?

Not positive, but I think that is how it works

Gil, You can cloak yourself like a Klingon Warbird but Capt. Picard will know your there ...Somewhere.

We will see, Jerry. I've got a pretty serious cloaking device under development. But I can not release it for testing until tonight.

You let me know if it fools you.

Yes, 'tis true. If you are a hidden user, nobody but the admins can tell when you're online (you'll appear as a hidden user), but your name will still show up as being online in the past two hours.

<------------ Ok Jerry, here is my new cloaking device.



To see if it works, please select the real ItsOnlyGil from this lineup:

I would say your a Frank Gorshin wannabe.
For you younger guys, Frank Gorshin was a great Impressionist and played the Riddler in the 1960's Batman TV show.
Golly Gee Batman

Ok, so now I am hidden. It kinda feels good !

Does my avatar show up? I guess that I will see.

But really, I could just log out and walk around anonomously as a "guest".

I don't know about this feature.
