Circles By Names???????

[AliceS]

What does the color dot beside everyone's name mean? Some are red, others are green and some are black?????

[rxmurphy]

green means they are on line

[Dreamer333]

Maybe the red circles mean that the poster is really mad while he/she is typing!

[AliceS]

Mine is always red, call me madalice from now on.

Well, Alice, it doesn't look like the answers are pouring in. Maybe the red is just for the poster to see. For instance, when I'm online, I always see my circle as red. Does anyone else see my circle as red when I'm online or do they see it as green? Maybe I'll never see my circle as anything but red, because I can only see my circle when I'm online... with me so far? I wish one of the keepers of the board would read this and give us the answer. Plus, I've never seen black circles, only green, red and silver.

Hold your cursor over the dot and a little bubble will explain. Green Dots are online, no color is offline. I haven't seen red, so I can't hover to see what it is! :)

Green: The member is currently online and happy for everyone else to see it.

Grey: The member is either offline, or doesn't want everyone else to know when they're online.

Red: You're online but you have chosen not to reveal that to others.

 

Whether you want to be visible or invisible is an option that you can set.

Thanks globalizer, I had only seen the green and grey, I love these boards and all the knowledge on them.

[Sandy R]

Thanks for the answer Globaliser... just changed my profile so I don't have a red dot anymore!

You guys are so smart. See, I'm not mad, I'm invisible. Gotta love that. I'll see what I can do about that one.

You must have 'fixed' it. You show up green now AliceS ....

[Dreamer333]

So if someone shows up as red, then don't we all know that he/she is online, but doesn't want us to know??

 

Or does it just show up red to that particular person??

 

(Glad you're not mad, Alice!!)

[Globaliser]

Exactly so ...
