    It tells the carnie folks that you're not in and that they should relieve you of all your goods and chattels.

    green is online, blue is offline unless you are cool and invisible like basom and me, in which case you are always blue.

    And red is you.

    You are cool and blue, just not to you. To you you are red and angry-looking.

    Don't listen to them. It means you are in someone's laser sight.

    Okay, I'm prolly gonna get flogged for giving a real answer, but the red dot next to your name means you have selected "Invisible Mode" in the User CP - Options.

    It's the first option: "Invisible mode allows you to browse the forums without appearing in the 'Currently Active Users' lists. "

    PLEASE NOTE: Selecting "Invisible Mode" does NOT make you invisible in real life.

    Has anyone ever actually had that happen? I had that happen last summer, and I was just wondering if there is anyone that can relate with me.
