When you login you can choose to not be shown in the active users list.

This is done for privacy, you can however see even the anonymous users listed in the admin section, under forum statistics.

Yes, thatīs right, but if you login from the "Quick login" the user is ALWAYS shown as anonymous !

Thats right as well because on the quick login the user doesn't get this choice, and allot of people (for some reason) are very fussy about their privacy on the net.
