Sorry if this is really dumb, but why is my lightbulb never lit up? Surely I'm not offline, lest I not see my unlit lightbulb. Perhaps I am a vampire or something along those lines?
So, the serious question is "Does everyone see himself/herself as offline? Or have I set some kind of privacy setting that cloaks my status from the world?"
I did look around my preferences, but I didn't see anything that stuck out to me as being the culprit.
Definitely not a big deal, I'm more curious about it than anything else.

Look to the left of your post... now down a little... light bulb!
By the way, everyone who has posted thus far has an illuminated light bulb. Except for me.

Come to think of it, I don't think the lightbulb icons have ever worked correctly. I'll take a look and see what's up. I think it has to do with the areas that update your "last hit" which must be within 15 minutes to stay lit. I think what's happening is that the last hit info isn't being update on other areas of the site (ie, database, my home, etc), so if you wonder off for a bit, come back to the forums, it'll think you're inactive.
