Sorry if the answer to this already exists in the FAQ or elsewhere. . .
I've noticed that at times on the Who's Online page there is a discrepancy: the line at the top will say that there are, say, 10 users online, but when I count the actual names there will only be 9. Are there people online who are invisible to this list or something? If so, why?

Goodness Gracious Me!!
Who would be so foolish as to make themselves invisible in a forum devoted to Tolkien???? Are these people not unaware of the danger this poses?? *Fordim shivers in terror at the realisation that there be Wraiths among us* Thanks for the explanation though -- I had always assumed that anyone who was "invisible" would show up as a "Guest".

Ah but you forget Fordim we are all wraiths, wights and so forth here .... so it is those living, visible people you should be nervous of...

I didn't notice that option before. I must say becoming 'invisible' is really very tempting to me.

Hmm... didn't even know there was such an option. Seems a bit weird to me, seeing as it's a forum and not a chat or instant messaging sort of thing... although I suppose if you wanted to avoid someone for some reason, it could come in handy.

With the old forum software, mods and admins could see who were 'invisible.' No such magic eye with the new software now, at least for mods.
I do know of people who, feeling quilty about how much time they spend here, choose to go 'invisible.' It is rather like people on a diet who sneak that piece of fudge when they think no one is looking, I suspect. It still adds up! ![]() ![]()

You funny!
Spiders are programs used by search engines such as google. They snoop through all the links they can find, recording where they've been. Sometimes they turn up interesting BD links, too.

Aieee I have seen them! *collapses in the style of Merry at the Pony*... I must admit .. I wondered what on earth you were talking about ..thinking you meant the list on the "front page" ..... now I have seen one with my own eyes .. an "ask jeeves" spider.......
