I reading a topic from one of the programming forum, and I saw this in the bottom of the forum page.
5 User(s) are reading this topic 2 members, 3 guests, 0 anonymous

I know the two members refer to abc and john joe, three guests probably refer to non-member, but how about anonymous?

As I know, for some forums or communities, the users open and view some posts, but they don't want to let others to know that they have viewed the post.
In addition, it looks like don't show the user name and hide my user name. Or it could be a settings for the user profile. Such don't let others know what/where I have gone or viewed.
