Just curious.

What's the difference between a phantom user and a guest?

    I believe a guest is someone who is not logged in and a phantom user is logged in but wishes to conceal the fact that they are.

    I'm scratching my head on this one.
    The point of a user name is surely to offer anonymous identity.

    Why would someone wish to conceal a user name?

    unless their partner is also on line but had told them they were going out for the night and couldn't see them and don't want them to know they were really in watching the TV and reading Charlton Life as they wanted a quiet night in on their own contemplating whether to dump them or not. Then you might want to be a phantom user.

    although I can't see the point when you post as a phantom and yet your user name appears.

    LOL, Large!

    Now your mistress/wife/GF will know that you've been contemplating...........

    So the purpose of 'phantom user' is to conceal Large's 'phantom mistress.'

    We should get rid of all this as I think all these phantoms spread to the pitch last season.

    Marcus Bent, JFH, Rommers & Bryan Hughes were all phantoms on the pitch last season.

    But did I forget the phantom of all Charlton phantoms?

    Step forward, the one and only Mr Invisible himself: Cory Gibbs......(!)

    Gibbs isn't a phantom because phantoms may exist.
