Does anyone know how (or why) you log in or (re)register as a guest user?

I've just noticed that one of our trusty regulars' username is now showing up as a Guest only. I'm not sure I've ever seen a guest user before.

Very weird.

I'm confused at the question, but would add that it doesn't take much lately!

Archiving a member is something that can only be done by the forum administrator. If the word 'former' appears before the name - that person was a paid member of staff who has left the organization. Another reason can be for a non payment of a subscription. I don't think a subscription service is available on this forum? Archived members on a forum like this are people with a status. The administrator will have made the decision to archive the content because the member was important to the forum. The archived member will no longer have access to the account - however, the information posted can be restored at any given time. It's nothing to worry about. My suggestion would be a member of staff has left.
