Default Invisible ?

Don't know why, but I just noticed a sort of orange colored circle beside my forum name .

When I moved my cursor over the circle, a message said that I am "invisible".

What does that mean ? Is that a good thing, or a bad thing ?

Is it something I can change, or that I even need to change ?

The circle by others' names just tell me if they are online or offline. But I'm invisible. Sorry for my ignorance of the subject. I simply have no idea.

It just allows you to browse the forum without others knowing you are online. If you care about that sort of thing.

OK, thanks for the info !

Don't reckin I care whether anyone knows or not. Just because I'm logged in, don't mean I'm actually on this site. Sometimes I just stay logged in all day. Many times I've forgot to log out, at night.

So, I'll just leave everything as is.
