I've noticed that some people post messages but it says they are logged off, how can you do this . The likes of Perm and SJS to name a couple aren't online while posting.

Well it's everyone's business who's invisible, and it's also very obvious.Thanks Inspector. Quite frankly, it's really none of your business who is in invisible and who isn't, or the reason anyone is or isn't, Richard
I automatically log into forum.etc.net, now when someone links me when it's etc.net/bleh i have to login again. Separate things it appears.Not sure it is...
Dont address that to Richard, address it to the person who asked the question, all Richard did was give the best answer he could. If you dont want it discussing, have a go at the person who (legitimately) asked it.Thanks Inspector.

That's true. I actually asked Gelman the same thing in the Staff forum earlier this very day - I ain't got a clue why some things default to one and others to the other.I automatically log into forum.etc.net, now when someone links me when it's etc.net/bleh i have to login again.

Aside from "I thought I'd give it a try" the only person who's offered a concrete reason is Voltman, who says he often posts at work and doesn't want to give the false impression he's "around" when he's nothing of the sort.Dont address that to Richard, address it to the person who asked the question, all Richard did was give the best answer he could.

Though i must say, whats the point of appearing invisible, then posting. Kinda blows the cover really. Its like kids playing hide and seak, but giggling so much they give their hiding place away.
Would be interesting to know (thats if i'm allowed) why people do set it to invisible. Cant see any benefit of it personally
Not everyone's as nosey as youWell it's everyone's business who's invisible, and it's also very obvious.
Obviously, it's at the discretion of the person concerned to reveal why if they wish, and not if they don't, as it is with a name.
If you must know, the main reason I do it is because I'm usually logged in all day from work or home but not necessarily on the site so don't want people to think I'm there when I'm not. I'm sure this is why most people use it, if you must know. But as I said, it really isn't anyone else business whether people chose to use it or not, and for people to constantly ask about it defeats the purpose of the privacy the option is designed forDont address that to Richard, address it to the person who asked the question, all Richard did was give the best answer he could.

It's about respecting people's privacyAs cpr said, though - by posting, you're automatically blowing that privacy, to anyone who's "nosey" enough to take any note.
It's nothing to me who's on invisible and who's not, nor why they are. I'm not going to have anything to put that information to use on. But it is something that's very obvious if you make any effort to notice, and it won't give you any privacy from the prying.
