I hope I haven't missed the answer to this elsewhere, but in the following example:

What's Going On?
Currently Active Users: 26 (11 members and 15 guests)

woxy.com > Boards Statistics

from the bottom of the Boards homepage, why don't all 11 members show up? Usually, the number of members listed is one less than the number shown as currently active. But 6 out of 11 is a big discrepancy. Anyone know the answer to this? Just curious.

Thanks!

In your profile options, you can make yourself invisible.

That's what some people have done, and the invisible ones don't show up.

I think I'm set as invisible. In other words, you'll see a count and I'd be included in that count but I won't show up in the list.

you don't have to logoff--you just have to close the window :)

Thanks, guys! I didn't even see that in the setup options. Guess you have to watch out for those lurkers. ;)

If I close out the window, I still show up as being logged on. That's why I sometimes set it on invisible... because I tend to forget to log off...

I wanna know what the "+" means that I always see next to Syd's name... :confused:

That means you've got Syd on your buddy list.

Next to my name and no one else's, what gives? Does anyone else have an asterix by their name when logged on? :confused:

Ah, gotcha... you're a smart one. None of the rest of you are on there, just so ya know...

I do, too. It either means that we're cool, we're invisible, or that we're at the computer and wearing a Robin Hood hat... or maybe some combination of the three...

Ah gotcha! That makes sense, Robin Hood hat. I thought it meant that I was wearing pantaloons at the computer. :D

Dumbest feature evah... from what I can tell that is all your buddy list does.

I have a board question myself. How does one get a hold of a moderator?

Why can't I post on Street Teamer threads? Was that a membership drive that predates me?

Actually, it's just preventing me from posting "I am!" 10 chars. in the "Who's Rockin' Dayton" discussion, so no biggie.

Did you shoot an email to Barb at underground@woxy.com? I think you need to do that first before you can post on that particular forum.

I just sent an email to info@woxy.com. It's on the contact us page. Go to the home page and scroll to the bottom. The link is there. All the DJ's email addresses are there as well if you need to send them an email. Question about the boards, probably Bryan Jay. :)

You know, I was online at that time and there was nothing out of the ordinary going on. I can't for the life of me think of why there were so many members on the boards then. :confused:

Ditto.
I remember being on, but no flames, no big news.
Woxy street teamers must have been out early.

Hey, that could very well have been the reason!

maybe it was the most boring day of the year, and thus we all gravitated here...

I think it allows you to send out group PMs.

I'm invisible 'cause I don't want you people to know I'm here.

And like a ninja, I'm gone....

Dumb question...what do the yellow and grey dots next to our names when we post mean? Is it yellow if you are logged in and grey if not?

I figured it out as I was typing the question, but I felt I should finish it, see it through to the end, don't give up, be dependable, follow through... I AM NOT A QUITTER!

Whew. Sorry, had a flashback to playing the flute in 5th grade. (I did quit that one.)

I wasn't familiar with that term so I did a google search and now know what it is and am no longer in my happy place. The funny thing is that on the results page was the usual ebay advertisement on the right offering low prices and huge selection on pederasts.

i prefer the word pederast to pedophile because pederast sounds cruel and horrible.
