I always have a wee scroll down main page to see how many members are online. It never ceases to amaze me how many names appear but never seem to post. I know that some folks have nothing to write about but they all can't be in that position. Are they all just curious and on for a mooch around the forum?

I think most members are active posters, just not prolific. Just as with life itself, there are chatty ones and those that are less so. What I wonder about more is the number of people who go through the process to join, then never ever come back

I am always curious as to why people come to the Forum as "anonymous".

I can understand why they would wish to do it under certain circumstances but not as a matter of course.

Broadcasting that you are online isn't comfortable for everyone so I do understand that.

For the record is an anonymous member one who has registered and can post etc but has requested to be anonymous as in no user name?
Also is a guest just a browser not registered?

An anonymous member is a member who has selected (in their profile) to not show in "Active Users" at the bottom of the main forum page. They show as one of xx anonymous members rather than one of the member names shown. A guest is a non-member, a member who is not logged in or a search engine at work.

Have found myself just browsing more and more, but I think as the season gets under way more people will post,
I do feel estranged on the forum in Winter months, as it is mainly the people living there that post,obviously, but its always nice to see whats happening.

How does one check if they originally selected to not show in "Active Users"[?]

I don't post very often as I find when someone has asked a question, others have already supplied good answers.
Plus I am boring with very little to say!
