[SOLVED] Have been wondering this...

[tu y tu mama]

Why do some members have an asterisk next to their username?

Adam, Entitled, Rct3gold, Scenery... And those are just a few of them.

What does the * next to their username mean?

Pretty sure they are people that are appearing invisible.
Could be wrong though.

Something about hiding from online list.

Well doesn't make sense if they are hiding?

I just did a very simple test. I went to "edit options" in my user control panel and I checked the option that says "Hide me from the Whos Online list."

I checked my name at the bottom of the page (or side) and it did indeed have an asterisk next to my name.

I went back and unchecked it (as I normally have it), and the asterisk was gone.

I guess the asterisk isn't big enough for their name to hide behind. lol

Yes it means that they are appearing invisible.

Probably if your an upgraded member you can see who is hiding.:ninja:

I will test this out now as well.

EDIT:

You are correct.

--------------------------------------

Conclusion: Asterisk by name means they are hidden from the Who's Online list to people that aren't upgraded members or higher.
