How come it seems like I always show up as a "Hidden" user these days? This is a recent thing.

What exactly is a "Hidden" user anyway?

A hidden user is not seen when logged into the forum. You may be hidden if you either uploaded an avatar, or selected one from the list. This is a bug in phpbb and I've logged it a month or two ago.

There is an option in your profile if you would like to hide/unhide your login from people.

Just for the sake of knowing, I am able to see users who are hidden if anyone is ever trying to avoid me. :)

Thanks Handruin! I'd hadn't noticed that setting. :D

Man, I hope this works. Since I can't see it and all.

No word from me yet, but I'm all set. :)

A fitting avatar for "myself" - uneventful, lack-luster, yet descriptive in its own way. I think "me" will have an avatar with more impact.

Taadaa!

Not bad, huh? Bet you didn't think I'd find something appropriate. Myself on the other hand ... well, what the heck is that thing?

And i, well ... he just chose the easy option. Loser.

Thanks a lot, me. You realize of course that you're the loser.

And as for the topic of what myself's avatar is, I'm not telling. I'll just see how long it takes you or someone else to figure it out.

And for that matter, how long it takes someone to figure out what the heck your avatar is. :eekers:

Just for the sake of knowing, I am able to see you, download your My Documents folder, order jewels from you credit card, access your online bank account, write an e-mail (as you) to your fiancé telling her you want to break up, send a fax to the local police department about drugs in the house, ICQ all your friends that they are a pain in the ass and you want to cut all contacts with them... and finally format C: after flashing the wrong BIOS to your mobo... :wink: :mrgrn: :lol:

Hmmm ... OK Professor, a good start, but let's see if we can't refine it a little.

Forget the jewels, order some porn, or perhaps outlandish sex toys - doesn't matter so much, just so long as it is distasteful, and prefferably illegal in Doug's home state. But don't use his credit card, use his girlfriend's card, or better yet, his mother-in-law's card.

Now, that email - don't tell her you want to break it up, tell her you (you being Handruin, of course) love her. You really, really, reallly love her. Tell her that a lot, in nauseating gushing detail. Be sure to include some really bad poetry. That way she will want to break it up - who would go out with the dweeb that wrote that gunk?

Clean out the bank acount. Yup. I mean it's not all that creative but hey - it's money, isn't it?

That fax to the local police department? Tell them about the porn you ordered on his mother-in-law's credit card.

Now we are getting there.
