Sta-yoopid question :)

Post by calypso » Wed May 21, 2008 2:46 pm

I'm pretty sure I already know the answer to this but if I don't ask I'll go crazy.
Is there any way of knowing if a BUS user has been online? (Aside from viewing their last posts obviously, and if they appear at the bottom of the forum listing.)
It's basically because I was just wanting to know if an IRL friend had been on bus, (ie reading my posts :o ) I can't ask her so I thought I'd just check and ask here and see if there's a way to know?
As I'm typing this I'm realising that there probably isn't for people that aren't admin and stuff.
I might have to get a new account 'cause I'm so paranoid :( :o

No there isn't, beyond checking for their last post and spotting them if they're online and have set themselves to visible. Not even mods can tell when someone was last online, only admins, but for privacy reasons that's something I think they tend not to disclose.
Act in such a way as to make yourself feel capable and effective

The change starts now.

If in doubt, don't

Yeah fair enough. I bit the bullet and just asked her :)
Cheers Smeagol.
