Why Can't I.....

[Andemagne]

...see the second page of OT when not logged in?
decided to try lurkking again, but it was not possible.

[MarkG]

you can lurk while being logged in

[Locutus]

But what if you can't log in? (I don't trust my boss OR my co-workers...)

[Andemagne]

right. but what if you have only little time and you want to check out (read not post) only one or two threads?

[Skanky Burns]

Well, you can't.

(Unless you bump them to the first page, and then log out to read them)

[red_jon]

No-one likes a lurker.

Me thinks this works the other way around too...

Just make a lurking DL.

If your co-workers ever get a hold of the account they are not in a position to spoil your unblemished reputation.

A lurking DL? That's like playing basketball without a ball.

It's so the moderators can track your lurking activities. They like to keep records of which threads each poster is looking at.

then they sell your e-mail address to the appropriate internet companies (spammers)

*creates new yahoo email address for the sole use of an apolyton DL
*creates apolyton DL
*waits to see if large volumes of spam come in

Creating a DL for lurking only, that would be a first

[Skanky Burns]

Strange, but it does actually solve the problems.

But if you just turn off cookies you wont have the problem of your colleagues using your account anyway.
