What does it mean what a member has an astrix by their name?

I've got a member showing up all of a sudden with an astrix (*) by his name in the bottom current logged on member box. I've check the member list and there doesn't seem to be a double of this person minus the astrix.

Thanks,

 

If you are admin, it means that the person is appearing invisible. For admins and Super moderators[and if you have it enabled for moderators] you can see the people who are invisible on your board. Regular members do not see the users with the asterisks.

xD From what I know of anyways, I might be wrong.

 

Pretty much what FMB said.

I used invisible mode on all sites that I don't work on or own.

 

(This is your vB forum, right?) Yes, * indicates invisibility and + means they're on your friends list.

 

Sorry, yes I'm using vB.

Thanks people,

I started a small promotion today and I noticed this astrix on this person's name about half way through the day.

 

it means their playing hide and seek with you...hehehehe....

 

On a forum like yours it would be neat to change the phrasing and refer to it as using camouflage.

 

I normally don't post like this but...

That was really good!

 

How do I set myself up as invisible on vBulletin 4 to everyone, including all staff?

Thank you.

 

You can't.

If a usergroup has permission to see invisible users, than they will see you.

 

i dont think you can, the admin will always be able to see everyone

 

...and if the admin does change that setting, to where they cant see the invisable members...then their not a very smart admin...lol..

 

Now there is a idea... :lol:
