Here's something I've never seen before in the new forum. Take this board for example. Here it labels Tax-5 as a guest, and I therefore have no way to access it's personal profile.

If they havent registered yet, and didnt have an account (or had no posts) on the old forun as at January last year, they wont have an account here so their posts will be guest posts.

If they do have an account here, it just means their posts haven't been linked to their account yet. I can fix this when I'm at a PC.

OK, Thanks. I thought it was just whether it's a Hidden user case or not.

Nope. That just affects whether they can be seen in Who's Online.
