I notice that sometimes a username on a "recent visitors" section of a user profile will have a + symbol next to it, just wondering what that means?

Good question. I've read different theories. I thought it would do it for only Admins, but I see other people with a + next to their name. Some say it's because that person is on your buddy/friends list. Another theory that I read is that the person has an alternate username or maybe has changed their username.

Update: PhoenixAcres is correct. It's for people on your buddy/friends list.

An * next to the name means the member has chosen to be invisible on the Currently Active Users/Who's Online list.

Ah OK, the name change thing makes the most sense I suppose, thanks for the info.

It means the person is on your contacts list, which includes your friends list.
