    Resolved [RESOLVED] "Invisibility Mode" question

    hello,

    when i checked the Invisibilty mode option, and saw 1 of my post, the small bulb like thing (beside Rate member's post icon), turned RED.

    so if somebody else see my post (with Inv. mode checked), will it appear RED for him/her also??

    thank you

    Re: "Invisibility Mode" question

    Where is the Invisibilty mode option? (I never seen it)
    If your invisibility more is checked on and someone happen to see a post with your, If he sees the red light then you are no longer invisible are you?
    Also Why would anyone go on invisible mode? What’s the point?
    Try putting the mouse on the red bulb, what does it say?

    Only you (and moderators/admins) can see the Red - others see you as offline.

    Some people like to be "invisible" as it means they don't get as many PM's asking them questions that should be on the forums instead.

    For me as a mod it is red, but as a normal user (or not logged in) it shows you as offline (grey).

    And before you ask, you appear in the users online lists with an asterisk next to your name, to yourself and mods/admins only
