Because they haven't been approved yet. Once approved you can than see their profile (this is to allow us to verify their profile is legit and not some spammer or worse)

and they can see ours (the collective out-of-newbie-status ours) whilst they are in this verification period?

p.s. thank you for the super prompt reply, linus!

Apparently. I think I'll be removing that ability right now.

Here is one I've been wondering about for a while…

I really like the fact that we can control how we interact with members via ignore, visitor page, and pm's.

What I can't figure out is why they work differently

If I don't want to see the posts of jane doe, I just put her on ignore, fabulous!

If I don't want to have jane doe leave a visitor or private message I have to basically block (ignore) all members except those I have added to a special list, less fabulous.

Is there some way to have it all work like the ignore feature?

Thinking it would be nice to have the very short list of annoyances vs. the very, very, long list of nice, or potentially nice folks.

We'll have to look into a mod to change the order or see if newer versions have it. Basically, it's the way the programmers coded the bits and it's likely that the two were done independently of each other.

Thanks for checking!

Question:

I can have John Smith on ignore and I don't have to see John Smith's posts but John Smith can regularly "visit" my visitor page and be listed as one of the 10 (daily) most recent visitors to my page.

Nothing can be done about that, I am assuming?

Thanks.
