Has anyone looked at all those anonymous browsers tonight. Where did they all come from?

Its a pity so many people sit on the fence and do not get involved.

Some most likely have a wealth of experience, and some could benefit from the experience of the forum members.


Come join.....

Many of them will be regulars who have simply ticked the box on their settings so that they don't appear on the "whose online" screen.

When I look at my settings I show up as an "anonymous". I can't remember why I ticked the box now, it's so long ago.

You don't show on anonymous users if you choose to be invisible. You show up on the registered user total count. So there might be 37 registered users online, but only 25 listed. Anonymous users are those who have not registered, (or registered users who are browsing without logging in)

I'm the 11th down on the anonymous list, I think, did we not have a discourse on this a few months back, if you are logged on you and your details appear on search engines.

There appear to be over 100 people here who don't want to watch football . . . maybe there is s ome hope for the species.

Nothing to do with logging on - just whether you have filled in profile details or not. The web search spiders will search and cache all profiles .... whether you are logged in or not

I often will show as 'anonymous' and the reason for that is that I sometimes just want a quick look to see if there is any thread of interest and over a dial-up, for we don't all have broadband yet, the log-in is just another time consuming step. Only if there is a thread that I want to respond to will I bother to log-in.
What's to get upset about this? think of it as listening to a conversation rather than talking. Maybe we just don't feel we have anything to say.

Well I was watching the football - which left me wondering; Is there any hope for English football?
