I have just noticed in my active users link that one of the profile links has an (A) after it. An example being "testuser (A)". I checked with view source of the page ant this is what it showed:

</tr>
<tr class="oddTableRow">
<td><a href="member_profile.asp?PF=48">TestUser</a> (A)</td>
<td nowrap>Today at 10:15am</td>
<td>1 minutes</td>

I'm wondering if anyone else has seen this. Not sure if I have made a boo boo with one of my modifications or not. I have checked the users profile and there is no (A) in there. I have only seen this on one user when there were a few users also active. Could it be that maybe I have a database coruption?

I am using 8.03 MS Access version

There is nothing within the original code that I can see would course this.

I've seen this on my forum and just thought the member chose to browse the forum anonymously and that's how it looked to the forum administrator.

I don't think I coded anything like this into the forum, but I could be wrong, on what page does this appear?

active_users.asp

Found it!!

'If the user wants to hide there ID then do so
ElseIf blnHideActiveUser Then
if blnAdmin or blnModerator then

%><a href="member_profile.asp?PF=<% = lngUserID %><% = strQsSID2 %>"><% = strUsername %></a> (A)<%

else

I should have looked harder the first time.

Sorry

Justin

are you using my "Active Users IP Display" mod?

if so, that'll be the answer, as it sounds like what i did on my own site.

it must of some how got into the Active Users IP Display mod.

the (A) in my mod repersents the user has chosen to be "Anonymous"
it only displays the (A) to Admins and Moderators. other users get the usual "Annoymous User" or what evers displayed.

i'll update my mod and let people know it does this.

When you login you need to select no for 'Add me to Active Users list'
