User name in bold - what does it indicate?
« on: October 05, 2017, 05:32:09 PM »
I noticed that a list of users viewing a forum showed one user's name in bold letters.  What does that indicate?

 John’s right: it’s called the buddy list.

@peteski, they're lying to you.  Those are Railwire Gold members.  For a small monthly fee you can upgrade your experience, and it includes free respect points.

Cute, very cute guys.
I often see or care about small details not seen by others. I'm anal (um, fastidious) and often sweat the small stuff. I'm also a curious individual. I like to take models apart and all sorts of other things around me pique my curiosity.  That is why I ask questions - to learn things.  I am ok with the fact that others might find me odd because of the way my brain works. It is just a way I am.

For example, when looking at the "Users Online" section of the main TRW page I see that moderator's names show up in slightly different color from the regular users.  But this is not the case in the scenario I described here.

I asked this question because I noticed something unusual.   Hopefully someone will give me the real answer, but if not, I'll survive too.  :P

But what does it mean that his buddy is a nightmare?
