What does the '+' behind some people's name in the "Currently Active Users" list mean?

What does the '+' behind some people's name in the "Currently Active Users" list mean?

At first I thought moderators, but there are a bunch of people I wouldn't know what forum they are moderating.

people on your friends list

Are you sure? I've seen + next to people's names before, and I have no friends list ... perhaps it's the inverse (people who have you on their friends list)?

You may be confusing that with asterisks, snoopy. The + is for people on your friends list.

[snoopy369]

I've seen the + also ... when I first read this thread.

Or I hallucinated them. Also possible

What do the asterisks mean? There's no way it's people who have me on their friends list, Asher is one of them

[ZEE]

Asterisks are people that are on "invisible Mode," you being an admin/mod can see invisible posters.

[snoopy369]

Ahh, okay, that makes sense.

I'm not an admin, but close enough apparently.

Thanks for the info!
