a preferences setting that prevents one from showing up in the "currently online" list. I have it set so that I don't show up as online in the sidebar, even though I'm logged in and browsing. That's why I was F1st ps0t even though I don't show up in the screen shot. However, Dave sees a list of active users that ignores this setting.
- The forum keeps track of IP addresses. If you always log in from only one or two IP addresses, and no one else does, then if accesses come from those IPs without a login, such as from an incognito browser session, dave can probably figure out who it is. So if you don't want Dave to know it's you posting anonymously to the ask dave and jay subforum you're going to need to go to a friend's ahouse, and use a proxy to be sure.
