Can you user see if someone has checked out his account?

What if you login as that user while they are online? will that have any effect or highlight to that user someone else is viewing his account?

Nope, totally secret.

Surely there name appearing in the WHO's Online would give it away?

Can that be changed?

[Chimpie]

It is my understanding that no one else can see their name, but I may be mistaken.

When you log out their name doesn't even appear on who's logged in for the day, if you have that mod.

Confirmed: I just tested it out. I logged into a users account and opened a new browser and it does't show that I'm logged in under the users account.

thanks alot for that, seems an extremely userful mod in that case.

Just tested it myself and it does show the users name in the active user list, I done this by opening a new window in firefox and viewed the forum as a guest and it displayed the user that admin had logged into.

You are correct in that it doesn't show in the Members in last 24 hours.
