What does the red ball under my name indicate? The red seems to give off a negative vibe, but my itrader rating is perfect. What's going on?

 

It tells others whether you're logged in or not. Others see it as blue, if you're in "invisible mode". Only you see it as red. If it's green, you're logged on, and others see you logged on. You can go to Control Panel settings and set it to illuminate green when you're logged in...

 

thank you very much - my questions have been answered
