invisible but not to all

[patroclo]

When someone enters invisible, returns visible if kibitz, but he doesn't know, This sometime is amusig other time embarassing. ;)

Unless they have changed it, if you are on the web version, even if you are logged in as invisible, if someone types your name into the find member box, BBO will tell them you are here.

[inquiry]

when you log on invisible, you can be seen in three specific cases.

 

First if you play at a table, anyone looking at a list of all tables will see you, as will anyone at your table (kibitizing or playing.

 

Second, as you point out, if you are kibitzing at a table, anyone also at that table can see you. This is intentional, if you are watching them, they get the right to know you are there (if it matters to them). If you don't want people at the table to see you, don't kibitz them. You can also log in without using a user name via the flash client and kibitz and they will see you but have no idea who you are (nearly as good as being invisible).

 

Third, yellow host can see you when you are invisible, no matter where you are on the gaming site. Yellows are suppose to treat you as if you are invisible when they see you unless you are causing some kind of problems. We are not even suppose to greet our friends if they are invisible unless they talk to us first.
