Our "old" forum allowed users to see who was online and what topic they were browsing. And if they were looking at what topics they were browsing a comment came up saying they were "snooping on other users, like you". many of my members have asked me if we'd have this feature with YAF, as I mod a forum for a celeb, and they sort of like knowing when he's online and what forum he's reading or posting in. On a side note, it also allowed "invisible members" - IE, if the celeb wanted to come on and not have people see what he's doing, he could go stealth. It just says there is one invisible member, but you don't know who it is or what they are doing. Regular members didn't have this superpower, only admins and mods.

an invisible mode would be cool, however, the admins and mods must be able to see them.

[quote=midwestSS]an invisible mode would be cool, however, the admins and mods must be able to see them.[/quote] Sorry, that's what I meant. Regular "members" can't go stealth, only admins and mods. In our case, the celeb who owns the site would presumably have Admin access. I think he should be able to hide his online status if he chooses. ALSO, he should be allowed to turn off his email or PM options. And before you say it, YES, an admin should be available on email... but there are times you may not want to be... otherwise, you log on and are bombarded with PM messages and/or emails.
