Some people have a plus after their name now when you look at the people listed that are currently viewing that forum. What does that mean?

Ah, so now I know why you've got that +, Candy. I thought it was as you're an Admin.

Can you tell I don't have many in my list

Probably a simple reason for this, but a bit brain dead at the moment

On the main page, where it shows the users that are online, I've seen this:

Most users ever online was 960, Today at 05:10 PM.
eddie5659, 24giovanni, 700mb80min, AcaCandy+, etc.

Now, I have seen that most names are in alphabetical order, so how come I'm at the beggining of the list? Its not that I've a lower case e, as there is this:

eddie5659, 24giovanni, 700mb80min, AcaCandy+, Al-Firdaus, Alexandre, asawadude

Any ideas?

Thanks

eddie

I *think* that you are shown your own name first, followed by everyone else in alphabetical order.

Just a wild guess, but everyone probably sees themselves in the first position.


Lol, good answer Mike

Yes my name showes up first now Mike.
It was harder to find before so I did not know if I was here or not but now if I get lost I can find myself real easy.
