Ya it also does the same thing to me.

[Ben Lauer]

Some people just prefer to be invisible, it is their choice. If they want to respect that and let it go.

who is this myterious "ghost account" and why is he watching us. it must be the molemen prepairing for an invasion! their spying on the bigest threat to their world domination! thats right TIRED PEOPLE!!!

Invisible mode allows you to browse the forums without appearing in the 'Currently Active Users' lists.

who ever activated this option in their User CP would be invisible, thus there could be quite a few so called ghost accounts, let them be, and respect their privacy

[mechanicalbrain]

thats really cool I had no idea you could do that! (i apoligize to all you ghosts and meant no offense)

[Greg Marra]

so there's a check box to be a ghost...

[mechanicalbrain]

I guess. It makes sense some people would want to not show up but i guess i didn't expect such a feature on CD.

hmmmmm, When i read the title of this thread Halloween somehow popped into my mind........

Now the real question is "Is Brandon a ghost?", but maybe we should leave that unanswered

User CP > Edit Options > Use Invisible Mode

When you do this, the "dot" next to your name (when you post) turns red. Currently, if you're not invisible, the dot next to your name is green when you're on Chief Delphi, and grey when you're off.

Actually, I think it just stays grey the whole time.

My bad - it turns red when you, the invisible user, see it.

If you spend a lot of time on here and watch who posts you will be able to figure some of them out. If you go read a new post and see them as being 'gray' and then notice they post again within a few minutes you'll know.

I know of two people off hand but I'm not going to tell, I respect thier privacy.

This thread really NEEDs a theremin music soundtrack.

I find some of the replys humorus "Leave the ghosts alone - respect their privacy!"
