Offline? But I'm HERE!!!

So I've noticed that my little check mark down there (look to the bottom left, folks) says I'm 'offline' when I'm browsing.

Weird.

I noticed it this afternoon. I had just hit 'submit' on a post and it timed out on me. I opened a second window to see if my post went through and when I got there I saw that, even though I was clearly online reading the boards, the system thought I was offline.

What's the deal with that?

If you click on "user cp", then "edit options" and look at Invisible Mode?, do you have a "yes" checked?
