Chris in VA Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 What does it mean when someone's name is italicized in the list of users that you find way at the bottom of the chat board? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrganicAnn Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 None of the names look italicized to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
staceyobu Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Maybe that they are searching the forums? That's the only thing that seemed different about the italicized poster that I saw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seasider Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Is it your own name? That might happen if you are signed in anonymously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dandelion Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 It means that they're in the process of posting. If you hover above their name a box will pop up that tells you where they're posting. It will either tell you the thread they're replying to, or it will just mention the board they're posting to which means they're starting a new thread. ETA: The info box pops up anytime you hover over someone's name, but you'll notice that when names are not italicized, the lower right hand corner of the box says "Viewing topic" and it tells you what they're currently viewing. When their name is italicized, that changes to "Posting in topic". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catwoman Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 I never wondered about it because I never noticed it. It's not easy being this clueless, but I work hard at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SunnyDays Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Julie, thank you for the explanation! I had wondered that too. It's not easy being this clueless, but I work hard at it. And we thank you for your valiant efforts... ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cinder Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Dandelion, thanks for the info. I'd wondered about that too. Now for part 2: What about the names in red? Occasionally I'll see a name in red. What's that about? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
