Sarnie Posted August 27, 2006 Posted August 27, 2006 How come the Mods don't show up on the home page in the bit that indicates who is online at any given time? Is it a secret stealth mode so you can keep an eye on Me, Liam's Z and Lomoto? Quote
lomoto Posted August 27, 2006 Posted August 27, 2006 I'm always in stealth mode... check me out Quote
Removed Posted August 27, 2006 Posted August 27, 2006 you can have it too, have a look at your options panel (but we can still see you ) Quote
Guest prescience Posted August 27, 2006 Posted August 27, 2006 This is a common policy for some people and arises from the desire to sneek around in bushes outside nurse's home. I myself recently attended a convention for such people in a disused garden shed outside Chipping Sodbury Quote
Sarnie Posted August 27, 2006 Author Posted August 27, 2006 I'm always in stealth mode... check me out But why though? Who are you hiding from? Quote

Chesterfield Posted August 27, 2006 Posted August 27, 2006 The reason tat a few of the mods/admins are in hidden mode stems from theearly days of the site - when all the mods/admins were online creating the place. It looked a little overbearing when new members joined up - there would be a whole sea of red and amber usernames, which may have put people off. Quote

And why do you still need it? Quote
Chesterfield Posted August 27, 2006 Posted August 27, 2006 When we originally started there were more mods than members logged on, o it looked kind of "cliquey". I dont know as we do still need it, just one of those things I have never got round to changing. One of the other reasons I set mine to invisible, was that I used to leave my session logged on whilst running backups etc whilst I was not at the PC. People could have sent me PM's asking for discount codes etc, but may not have received a response, as I actually wasn't there. So logging in as invisible removed that problem. Quote

All a bit fishy to me. I sense a conspiracy. Your all out to get me and my yellow car!!!!!! Quote

M13KYF Posted August 27, 2006 Posted August 27, 2006 I'm not in stealth mode. Personally I think its better that we are on view so if members wish to contact admin/mods for a discount code, or a issue with the forum, they can see who is online at the time. Perhaps when you were on Sarnie, there were just no admin/mods online to. Quote
