Isn’t it pretty? It’s right there,next to my user name.
I was viewing VIEW FORUM LEADERS just because I couldn’t remember having done so. Below that is a list of members,done alphabetically,and I was perusing that when I remembered that in every forum I’ve seen,I’ve never seen another orange box with a check in it.
So I whizzed down the members list just looking for other orange boxes,until I got somewhere in the Cs, whereupon I was foiled by the THIS PAGE IS TOO BIG,blah,blah,sign. Still there were quite a few names there,and mine was the only one with an orange box.
To what do I owe this distinction/badge of shame? What do the white box and blue box mean,also? Do the mods and admins have me marked as a troublemaker to keep a close eye on?
Well I’ll be. I’ve never seen that page before. What’s the point of it?
The blue boxes show who’s oflline, the white who’s online.
For me the box next you your name is blue.
When I roll the cursor over the orange box, I get a note saying you’re invisible, meaning you have elected not to appear in the “who’s online” list. Lobsang’s white box, in contrast, says he’s online.
If blue means offline,then why would you see mine as blue since I was obviously online? It should have been white.
I have webtv+ and maybe that has something to do with it,although I can’t think why it should.
Anyway,thanks Lob;it’ll be interesting to see if everyone sees it as blue.
Yours is blue for all but you because as Ed said you are set to ‘invisible while online’ meaning you appear to be offline for others, meaning we see you as blue.
Well,someone(Ed,is that you?) seems to have changed my box to white,although I went to userCP and like Berkut I couldn’t find any off/on invisible option.
At any rate,thanks a lot Ed and Lobsang,although I admit to being somewhat miffed at not being “special.”
I looked until I felt as though I might start pulling hair out. I can’t find it. It was an option in the previous version, but it seems to have been misplaced.
I see from your profile that your “Invisible Mode” is currently set to “No”. Which means your little box will change to white when you’re online and blue when you’re offline.
The Login and Privacy link should give you an option for “Use Invisible Mode”. It’s the option immediately above “Allow vCard Download”. Not sure why it doesn’t show up in your options.
T’ain’t there for me, either. vB3 has sooooo many options and permissions – I’m with Berkut, and wonder if the wrong toggle got flipped for Charter Members, lol.
Now I know what people mean when they say “Membership Has Its Privileges”!
