    Can I just ask: Why are some of the little icons next to the member names either an empty helmet or a head with a helmet on? Is there a distinction being made? Just curious.

    Mouse over them: If you are logged into the forum, the helmet has a head. If you are not logged in, or you have chosen to be a "hidden user", then the helmet is empty.

    Not entirely sure about the hidden user thing though.

    and sometimes if you go AFK long enough you can press refresh and see yourself with your helmet off -- it's like the lights are on..but no-on'es home LOL

    That seriously made me lol!

    Only you would have discovered that, Em.LOL

    Personally, I'm surprised mine's not always empty.
