So, the thingie says we have 7 people on the bored now, 4 registered, 2 hidden and 1 guest.
Then, the other thingie tells me that mikey is here - no one else (plus me makes 2) how come I don't see the other 2 announced as browsing?

I think (but am not sure) that once you are in a post, you are no longer browsing the forum.
I changed my status to hidden once I started the QOD just so people wouldn't assume I was doing a game posting or scoring and updating and then wait around for it.
I guess I just defeated the purpose of being hidden in the first place. Ha!

Anyone who is in the process of composing and posting a message will not show up on the list at the top of the Bored, which only shows those who are actually viewing the message list or threads.
There is also a bit of a delay in posters showing up on the list when they first come to the Bored, and coming off of the list after they leave....

So the list on top is just people who are not actively talking and are signed on, with the bored in a window.
If I am talking, like right now - not now when you read this, but now as I am typing, my name will not appear.
hmmmm
