    Default Asterisk beside Users Name

    Hi,

    When I log on and see the users currently on the forums I see cool1*.

    Why does he have an asterisk beside his user name? I searched but coudln't find anything on why this is so. What does the * mean?

    If you look at this page:
    http://toymods.net/forums/online.php?

    It says that the asterisk means "User is invisible to others".

    Ok, just on the subject of user names. I've noticed that some members have "Toymods Club Member #***" with their member number showing up under there name in their posts. Is there any special reason this shows up?

    Club members can edit their user title in User CP -> Edit Profile -> Custom user title.
    Whoever you are referring to must have chosen to put their member number in their user title.

    Hi,

    Shhhh Rona*. He thinks he's invisible, don't spoil it for him.

    I tell ya what Cool1, whenever you're on and I see "Cool1*" I'll just pretend that you're hidden from view, okay?

    LOL if this is how you use your computer.
    Hurry up someone and make him invisible.
