I don't see any such asterisks, though I do see a plus after anyone on my friends list.

I don't have any friends. Assuming its doable I would have opted out, or declined any such offers. Maybe they're the people who ignore me 'Cept Doitsu k'd me the other day.

They are there. Look at the active list of users currently logged in at the bottom of the main forum page. I have yet to figure out what they mean but I see them.

All I know is when I changed to be invisible I saw the star. I believe it will show you as being on the forums but will not provide info as to what you are doing.

But where are these so-called 'Currently Active Users' lists'. Seems to me they themselves are invisible. All I see is a user count.

Curiosity satisfied. I'll stop worrying about it. Maybe First Dog on The Moon has something new for me to worry about.

I changed to invisible and I see the mark by my name (and I am not a moderator, and it is the only mark I see by a name). I'll stay invisible for the day. Do any non-moderators see the mark by my name?
