I use invisible mode because some days I only have a few minutes to come in, check messages and back out. I noticed when I wasnt using the invisible mode my coming on and then off was making some people feel upset because they thought I was still online when they finished their post or pm to me and then they wouldnt get a reply right away. if I happened to log off just as they were replying to me on the boards or sending a pm some took it personally and I can understand how that happens, mental disorders sometimes do come with the symptom of paranoia.

I would receive pms asking if they had offended me and I would have to explain, Just because you see my name on the main page of who is online it doesnt mean Im still online when you are finished writing to me, and other reasons why my reply to them would not appear right away on the boards.

when Im using invisible mode I can come on and then off according to what time I have without upsetting anyone.

using invisible mode for some people can also be a self care choice..getting mental disordered people together there is going to be people having conflicts with each other. I think of the invisible mode as I do the ignore feature. helps people from having conflicts with each other, give each other space and time away from those they may not be in a safe place to handle that day.
