    I was just wondering why when you go to view what people are doing online, sometimes it doesn't say whose profile they are viewing and sometimes it does? It does that other times too but it seems almost randomized. It's not very important. Just something I was wondering about.

    I've never had that problem and I view online a lot. The most frequent problem I've had is when you go to the main page, it'll say a user isn't online but when you go to 'view online' it says their online when the main page says they aren't.

    Maybe those users are set to invisible, like me.

    I always wondered why would anyone log in as invisible

    Maybe it gives us peace of mind. I don't know. I just feel better invisible.

    On another note, I was looking at the 'Currently Online' list and noticed that my name has an asterisk next to it, and random other members have a plus sign next to their name. Just curious, what do those mean?

    Asterisk: You appear invisible.
    Plus: They're in your friend list.

    I set my profile to invisible a while ago for some reason and have never been bothered to change it back. I'll take it off now, because now that I think about it I have no reason for it to be on.

    I'm invisible because I sometimes don't feel like talking back immediately if someone messages me, it's pretty lazy I guess.

    I use invisible because I'm constantly logged-in out of sheer laziness, but only actually appear every now and then. It's just more convenient that way.

    *shakes fist at Joe* You sneaky Team Member!
