Space Commander Travis Posted September 29, 2014 #2 Share Posted September 29, 2014 A Guest, i believe, isn't signed in, and so therefore can't post. You can tick a box to choose to be Anonymous if you're signed in, it means you can post and everything but it won't show up at the bottom of the page where it says "So many users are reading this topic". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waspie_Dwarf Posted September 29, 2014 #5 Share Posted September 29, 2014 A Guest, i believe, isn't signed in, and so therefore can't post. This is correct. A guest is either a non-member or a member that isn't signed in. You can tick a box to choose to be Anonymous if you're signed in, it means you can post and everything but it won't show up at the bottom of the page where it says "So many users are reading this topic" Also correct. The ability to sign in anonymously is an option all members have. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spud the mackem Posted October 2, 2014 #9 Share Posted October 2, 2014 A guest is an invited person, an anonymous person hasn't the guts to say who they are..(as far as I'm concerned) Be Honest people. Name Rank and Number only if you're captured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Euphorbia Posted October 2, 2014 #10 Share Posted October 2, 2014 A guest is an invited person, an anonymous person hasn't the guts to say who they are..(as far as I'm concerned) Be Honest people. Name Rank and Number only if you're captured. I always sign in as anonymous because I feel more comfortable that way. I do a lot of reading of certain threads while only occasionally making posts. Sometimes I am signed in for days on end and don't want my user name at the bottom of the screen for hours at a time like when I go to bed or out to run errands. We are all entitled to sign in as we wish and anonymous lets you do everything that a regular signed in person does while a guest can't post and doesn't get place holders in threads. And really, if you think about it, even 'spud the makem' is anonymous.....we don't know your real name..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
praetorian-legio XIII Posted October 2, 2014 #11 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Third_Eye your avatar is extremely unnerving, or so I find. If that was your intention you nailed it, well done. But as a cat lover please find a puppy to use. Thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Commander Travis Posted October 2, 2014 #12 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Does it make any difference at all really I wonder? I wonder who ever takes the name to look right down at the bottom of the page to see who might be browsing a particular thread anyway, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waspie_Dwarf Posted October 2, 2014 #13 Share Posted October 2, 2014 an anonymous person hasn't the guts to say who they are..(as far as I'm concerned) Since posts can't be made anonymously this is obviously a nonsensical attack on those who use this facility. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quiXilver Posted October 6, 2014 #15 Share Posted October 6, 2014 I have an owl cat that accompanies me in various dreams... He's got the head and wings of a barn owl and the body of a white cat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Didya See That Posted October 8, 2014 #16 Share Posted October 8, 2014 I like to use the anonymous feature for a couple of reasons. Mostly, I don't like for it to show what thread or forum I am reading. Some sections of the forum are a guilty pleasure, I like reading them, just don't like people knowing I do.
