Yup! Worked if "Test edit" is what you had.

Ah, yes, it is on the bottom of the post. Came up slowly on mine, so I am editing my post too - sorry!

Oops sorry MM! My mistake. I started writing the above before I saw your post. Regarding the edit thing, I went back to edit a post just now and after it took me back automatically to it, but it was the same. I just went now to today's topics and it has been edited, so ignore that bit!

confused Okay... time for honest, upfront feedback about one particular topic, a feature of the message board.

Who among you like having the names of Recent Visitors (and what they visited), including yours, on the message board? Who DO NOT like it?? Please be honest and SPEAK OUT! I've received some feedback that having other people know of their presence and "activities" wasn't desireable. I like this feature a lot, but I'd rather have a kind of majority vote if possible.

As I have put it now, the list ONLY states the number of registered members and non-members visiting, but no specific names.

So we have the three options:
Names, only numbers, or nothing at all.

An important note, if we choose the NAMES option, all members have the option to be "INVISIBLE" by going into your "my profile", then clicking on "VIEW/UPDATE PROFILE", then "Hide from Recent Visitors feature?: Yes/No."

Feedback? Saludos, MadridMan

Personally I like the feature. I'm not paranoid about visiting the site. If people don't want their names to show they can simply make themselves invisible.

I don't see any reason to eliminate a good option when using the option allows people to make their own option to be invisible (did I say that? rolleyes )

Use the names, let people choose invisibility if they must.

I always try to wear at least a robe when I'm visiting the site. I don't want anyone to end up having nightmares the rest of their life - laugh

Wolf (Anyhow, that's how I vote. :p )

Thanks Wolf. Personally, I'm with you on this. My concern is that most of the members or non-members will read this thread and won't realize the option to be "INVISIBLE" is even possible so they may shy away from the board for fear that "Big Brother" is watching. cool

MadridMan,

If it was put on the sign up page, in BIG BOLD LETTERS my guess is they would see it, and be able to make the decision without ever having been seen. Their secret identity as Superman and Wonder Woman would be safe forever.

They could be like - transparent! smile

I like seeing the names up top!!! (We all know we're obsessed, uh I mean devoted, to this board anyway, so why not tell the world?!) But, MM, isn't it expensive to get the names up? If it's too much, then leave just the #, it's always neat to see who's there and may want to chat!

One question, though: am I understanding this correctly, or not...are we supposed to be able to see the previous string of posts we're replying to now? If so, I don't see them when I'm writing my reply, only when it's done & brings me back. I thought someone said that in another post, but I may have misunderstood!

Hasta pronto!!

Okay! There's another one for having the NAMES at the top. And no, it's no more expensive to have them as to NOT have it... it just requires more "memory" from the server.

Don't you see the thread in the box below when you reply?? I can see it right now. Look down.. down... down.... Please let me know if it's still not visible.

Saludos, MadridMan
