I have a friend who says he may be interested in joining, but he wants to take a look around, first. I thought that you could browse the forums without an account, but it is telling him he needs to register. Help? I gave him http://www.holyworlds.org/forum this link.

You should be able to. Just not view some stuff like Story Excerpts and so on

(Out of curiosity...who?)

Oh, that's what he wanted to view.

Yup. I think Story Excerpts, Worlds, and some of the rooms in the Citadel are hidden from non-members.

If he wants to browse around before joining, that is fine, most people do. We can't give him access to the members-only sections (like The Village), though. He should be able to see all he needs to see in the regular browsing sections.

Chat is also not accessible to a non member, just as a side note.

Well, he wanted to see the quality of some of the stories...But that's ok. He's leaning towards not joining anyways.

Hey! That's no good! He's supposed to join! Everyone is supposed to join!

When I was at the Fireside, it said a guest was looking at it. Isn't that not supposed to happen?

I think that is a bug. The Who Is Viewing section has weird things in it. Ghosts.

Yes. I have even had people not show up on Who is Viewing when I know they are on there because we are in chat together.

In that case, I just saw another ghost.

Holy worlds is haunted!! Aaah!

What causes that, Jay? Do you have any idea?

Maybe they are browsing as hidden.

Then it doesn't show them, correct?

I have no idea.

Well neither do I so don't listen to me. Jay?

* chuckles * I don't have the foggiest. I haven't had to use it much, so I never bothered to debug it.

Maybe the mafia is tracking me.

You'd better go run and hide then!

I found another ghost! Not really.

*Huddles into the corner and whimpers.* I- I'm not going out there!

Throw a cookie at 'em! That should scare them! Seriously, I wonder what it is.

*slowly stands up and chucks cookie at ghost* I don't know Shawn, but cookies have no effect.

Maybe it is recognizing bots that crawl around? Like the Google [ Bot ].

Uh, corner them in chat! *evil grin* Maybe...

What dark secrets are you hiding, Elanhil?

By the way, I'll keep an eye out for the ghosts.

Okay guys, as fun loving as this has been, I think it is time to lock and archive this thread. The purpose of this thread was to deal with Jonathan's question. That has been done. It will now be archived.
