    On the currently active users list, it shows that ag3nt bi0s is on there, however when I check his profile:

    http://forums.digitalpoint.com/member.php?u=143804

    It shows he is offline.

    So is he really online or not? Just wondering because I paid him $90 USD this morning and am expecting a PM from him.

    Just be patient, no need to start a thread about something as unimportant this, give it 48 hours.

    Well I just want to know if people can appear as offline when they really are online.

    Yes it is possible, people can choose to hide their online status. Allthough im not sure if they would still show as online in the online list, perhaps just a small glitch. It is a busy forum dont forget, sometimes youll see someone looking at a thread or something for ages before they no longer show up.

    As I said have some patience and give it some time :)

    Well he's not showing up in the active user list now, so I suspect it was just the database being slow to update his status. Also, please don't get stalker-ish. Just because someone's technically logged into DP, it doesn't mean they're checking PMs constantly or going to respond to you right away. He could be logged in but not even actually be on the site if he left and simply forgot to log out.

    One small correction. Members (and even mods) can not be invisible here at DP. Only Admins have that ability. We just have a funky server that lags and could sometimes show us online when we are not, or show us offline when we are on. :eek::rolleyes:
