That star next to your name means your invisible

Also you will notice that after your name on a post the dot will be red meaning that you are in invisible mode.

ok. that first part about the star makes sense to me.


but the dot thing...
if i can see that your dot is blue (blue = visible), everyone else can see that my dot is red (red = INvisible), then why have the invisible function as user option?
doesn't the red dot scream, "hey i'm invisible!" ?


does that make sense?

[Sheikh Yerbouti]

I'm guessing you might see the red dot but others do not? just like you see your id in the active users bit with a star, but others don't see it at all?

...anyway... never mind that now... who you hiding from & why?

[butty]

yep. the star means your invisible and although you can see you, others cant. also to others your dot will be offline and not red, its jus lettin you know your in invisible mode

anyway, youve buggered that up as we know your here now!

[blue jammer]

What I'd like to know is what it means when the dot is flashing different colours at you and the speakers are laughing in the background
