Yes =) They're for you peapod. hehe.

They aren't nipples!! Nor are they baby bottles! I derived them from msn online and offline icons. I thought they're quite nice. They are heads with shoulders :)

Someone who is hidden (over half the users are usually hidden) will appear offline. You can view who's online on the main page at the bottom.

:lol: :lol: yes its a trait I learned doing genealogy, always looking for clues :p I like them, and I have seen them at other websites, ricky just has the mind of any 18 year old boy, or I mean man :p

Yes I know you can tell who is online at the bottom, but if it says 1 hidden, I can now go and hunt down the nipple and if its green, I will know who it is. :p But there are over 700 members. So chances are slim. The old needle in a haystack. :p

I'm not only hiding, I have decided this small planet is not big enough for me and that moronic nation to the south. I'm trying to jump off, but dammit, gravity won't let me.

Nope :) If someone is hidden, their icon will always show as Offline.

I'm with Rick on this one - I think they look like nipples too. Cool idea, though, as it lets you see right away if the person you're replying to is on or off-line.

Why would anyone decide to hide? As soon as you post, we all know you're here anyway. Besides, since so few people "hide", it's not like it's too difficult to figure out.

Within arms reach of the new baby..
You can change it in your profile, so that instead of you showing up as online, it shows you as offline, but you technically are still kicking around and can post. I have mine set to hidden, I have no idea why, it seemed like a good idea at the time...
