I am usually signed in under invisible mode so not sure if I show as a member or guest in the stats. We have invisible mode? Is that like a super power? If so I want in on it! LOL. It's some setting somewhere. How's that for helpful? This board is big enough it's not an issue. Plus message boards are kind of a dying art I think. Way back when I participated in smaller boards. Some folks would post things like "Hey Ham I see your online but you haven't posted in a couple of days" or "Ham you are signed in all the time". Felt stalkerish especially when I often open a bunch of tabs on firefox and just leave them open all day, even when i leave the house for a few hours. I discovered a setting option to not display your user name when online years ago and now when I register on any message board I set up that option right away. Like I said 2 peas often has so many my name wouldn't stand out anyhow. But I have seen posts were people notice a poster doesn't come back to answer things and I imagine if someone saw their name as "online" it could lead to "Hey she's online and ignoring us" and that skeeves me out lol.

I only log in when I have something to say...which isn't too often!
I read several times a day though.

Board posts also show in searches. I've searched things and found post on other boards that I am not a member of that answer a question I have. I just read, get my answer and go. I have no reason to join those boards. We cover a mega variety of topics- that alone could explain a large number of visitors. I read similar type of boards last week when I was looking into smokers. It will be an interesting day when I progress from research to board member on that... I I magine it's true for others and their topics. When it comes to my mega posting here compared to lurking on old board it's simple- I've got the time, means and interest to do it now. I was on dial up laptop when 2Peas began, with tot and preschooler. Not inclined to deal with those hurdles. This board has caught me on mobile, still sitting at games and practices, and not feeling the need to be so attentive. I usually leave the page open, just to see titles.
