I was just browsing through user profiles when i came across Tragdeys. On the last login date it says 13th May 2005, yet he has created a thread Member Of the Month Feburary 2006. How can he create the thread without loging on?

What if he didn't log OUT after he logged in in May?

No, that's not how the log in / log out system works. ProBoards automatically logs you out if you've been inactive for fifteen minutes, or something like that - all that "Logged in Forever" does is log you in automatically when you access the site (same applies to visiting the site again within, say, five hours, after selecting "Logged in for six hours").
There's an invisibility mode which doesn't show somebody up on the members list (except to moderators) when they select it in their profile, and doesn't show updated log in / log out dates from after the point they activated invisibility modes, and I think admins have an upgraded version of that as well. He's surely been using that, and since he's invisible, it hasn't updated his log in / log out date.

As far as I know, only administrators can see the names of currently invisible users, although everyone can see the "1 Invisible User" thing on the online list. So, anyway, Tragedy's been using Invisible Mode for the past year or so, and I think some other users use it consistently.

and I think admins have an upgraded version of that as well. i'm intrigued, in what way is this legendary 'upgraded version' said to be any different?

All I know on that matter is that in the earlier Proboards version, only administrators could use Invisible Mode, while it's available to everyone in v4.

i think i see what's happened here he found Tragdey's account, who must have been some sort of joke account made by someone and abandoned back in the day
however the member of the month thread sare made by Tragedy, who is a completely diferent member, and in fact the administrator of this forum
the names may be similar BUT THEY ARE NOT THE SAME
hope this helps

I think he just typoed "Tragedy" in the post, as he's right as to when Tragedy's last listed logon date is.
