If you click on "Online Users" it will show you who is where.

Sometimes people are down as "Anonymous Member"

I know that anonymous members are on here.....don't know who they are:D(sorry). I don't think they can look in your personal inbox though. [8)]

I went onto "Online Users", as I often do to see what is currently popular.

From there it showed an "Anonymous Member" in "Privsent"

I was curious as I had never seen that before so I clicked on it....and it took me to my box.

It will ALWAYS take you to your inbox - every time.

Trust me - try it with a friend on here. Get them to go to their inbox and then you click on what they are reading and it will take you to YOUR inbox.

Hope that helps.

Dont be concerned. NOBODY was looking at any of your information.

If you look at the link to your 'PM's' it does not contain your member id. The link works by reading the site 'cookie' from your machine to identfy you.

What you saw was probably a search engine robot attempting to access the PM area of the site. When you clicked on the link it showed your PM's because the cookie was read from your machine. Anyone that clicked on the link would have seen their own PM's.

Hope that helps
