Get out the bug spray?
Giff me dat fill-em!:
Matching my IP address with the "who's online" list, apparently I am now a "guest". Perhaps I'll have to re-register before being shown as a "user" ever again. Or maybe ... hhhmmm ... I have my cable modem plugged into a router, maybe the IP has changed due to plugging into a different port on the router and that's why I am now a guest. Its worth a try, anyway.
I went into the admin center and looked up the Members List, and it showed that the last time I was online was today ... but I'm still shown as being offline while viewing the site. Strange happenings, I tell ya!
I will now return to the nether world ... [suspect] (muhwahahahaha)
([sniff] I wanna use with youz guys!)
Giff me dat fill-em!:
I don't understand it, but I logged out and then back in again, and voila! ... I am no longer a vaporous apparition. Its nice to be back in the world of the semi-living.

How often do you reload a page? Every x days, whenever you push the button, or every visit?
When I did website work I had to set the page reload default to every visit. Otherwise a recent change may not be "there".
Could this be your problem, Giff?

jrvass ...
I was under the assumption that (as an administrator) [or maybe just as a matter of consequence] that I was able to remain online "forever", a choice given to me by the website software, (i.e., not be required to login on occasion), and as such, I did not feel compelled to attempt what you spoke of.
I only reload a page when I want to see if anyone has responded to a certain post (mine, or perhaps another), and even so, reloading a page does not neccessarilly mean that I re-logon to a site, what it means is that I want to see an updated view of the page I am viewing.

Hmm - that is a little weird. It almost sounds like the cookies on your computer either didn't save correctly or got partially deleted. I didn't really think that was the problem, though, since you said that you could reply to posts. In fairness to the authors of the forums system we use, it is a "Release Canidate" and not a "Full Release" (which gives a handy out when something goofy like that happens, not that it couldn't happen under a "full" release.)
Well, live and learn, as my mother used to always say; if anyone starts getting a weird situation like that, try logging out and then logging back in again.

Good catch, James; that's also a possible cause for a problem like that.
What he is talking about, Giff, is the browser's cache. When you view web pages, your browser stores a temporary copy on your machine, so it will reload faster if you to back to it (very handy for a slow connection.) You can set your browser to request a new copy every time you go to a page, or only so often as the browser thinks necessary, etc. With dynamic sites like ours (and most others, these days), it's better to have your browser ask for a fresh copy from the server every time you go to a page, so you'll get the latest, most up-to-date info.
