Hi,

     Today in the Tubular Board,I saw:
        Threre's 3 guests,4 public members and 2 anonymous members

      What's an anonymous member?
      What could be  a good reason to become one of them?

When you are online on the board, you can set your appearance as offline, so people won't see you. This option can be chosen when you log in manually.

When I'm at home on here, I am an anonymous member. When I'm at Uni, like now, I am a visible member. I don't know why I set it like that...

It may be because of a cookie from tubular.net.
Search it, erase it and relog to tubular.net.
I think it will work better  :D

This anonymous members, as far as I know, are simply people visiting the forum who are either people not registered or members not logged in. When you logged in there's a box that you must tick to be logged in automatically everytime you came to this forum, if you don't check this box you must log in everytime you visit the forum. While you aren't log in you're consider an anonymous member (the system doesn't know who you are  :O ).

If you tick the box I have mentioned before a cookie is installed in your hard drive. So if you delete your cookies, then the next time you visit the forum you will have to register again. If your browser is configured to delete automatically the cookies it doesn't mind if you check that box, you will need to register every now and then not to be an anonymous member. And obviously, if you conect from a public computer that doesn't have this cookie installed at the hard drive you will be required to register too. ;)

Anonymous members are registered users who don't wish to be identified as being online when they're logged in (people who've ticked the "Don't add me to the active users list" box). Registered users who are logged in show up as public members (and their names appear in the active users list), and anyone not logged in shows up as a guest.
