And then an asterix appeared....

Ok, while I'm new to vbb (from a adminstrator viewpoint), I think I've become fairly aqquainted with it... well, I just had a "WTH?" moment....

My newest admin came to me today and asked "Why is there an asterix by my name?", and sure enough, on the "Currently Active Users" list on the bottom of the root forums, his name appears in bold and italics like my and the other admins' names, but his has an asterix by it...

I have no idea why it's there, and I can't find any refferance to it's meaning.

What DOES it mean?

I'm running VBulletin v2.2.8, with the vbportal-lite add-on.

Hiho =)

This means that he's chosen to be invisible on the who's online list.
Invisible users are shown to admins with an asterix attached to their name.

If it really would be Asterix and not an asterisk...

This is Asterix:

Ok. Thanks

And oooh... I remember that cartoon. I still have a couple of them in storage somewhere :-D
