Well I'll play and take a SWAG at it. It probably means just what it says. IE they are at the top of the Forum and haven't picked where they want to go yet so the Forum can't tag them yet. Or they were in the Forum and walked away and have timed out but the web browser is still open but since they are not active, the Forum can't again tell what section they are in. Or they are employees, and the employees "Do" have a private discussion area (complete speculation on my part as I have no idea, just saying could be) for company business. Or they are admin/moderators and they are moderating. Or maybe it is odd behavior or the Forum just hasn't updated at that moment you looked to drill down to "exactly" where they are at that exact moment so it puts in a wildcard because the Forum knows that nothing just will not do. The guy that wrote the Forum software probably couldn't answer this question, but again that's guessing also. Or as Pippin said they are in the passworded secret Transporter or Sean Adams forum sections! -- iPhone *iPhone* Media Room: Transporter, VTL TL-6.5 Signature Pre-Amp, Ayre MX-R Mono's, VeraStarr 6.4SE 6-channel Amp, Vandersteen Speakers: Quatro Mains, VCC-5 Reference Center, four VSM-1 Signatures, Video: Runco RS 900 CineWide AutoScope 2.35:1 Living Room: Duet, ADCOM GTP-870HD, Cinepro 3K6SE III Gold, Vandersteen Model 3A Signature, Two 2Wq subs, VCC-2, Two VSM-1 Kitchen: Squeezebox BOOM Bedroom: SB3, GFR-700HD, Thiel 2.3, Second Boom Home Office: SB3, NAD C370, two VSM-1 Home Gym: SB3, Parasound Vamp v.3, Thiel PowerPoint 1.2 House Portable: SB3, Audioengine A5 Ford Thunderbird: Duet, Mac Mini Ford Expedition: SB3, ToughBook ------------------------------------------------------------------------ iPhone's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13622 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=65249 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
