"Hidden" isn't hidden, at all...

(1/9) > >>

K@:
When you browse the forum "Hidden", for whatever reason, it's incredibly easy to find-out if you're actually around.

If someone goes to your profile, it tells them when you were last active. If that's showing as "Now", as it were, it kinda proves that you're around.

Maybe it should be that people who are hiding should get that bit blanked-out, or have that show as "Hidden", too?

emanuele:
Even the time reported on your last post proves you are around...

Of course if you set yourself "hidden" and then you don't post at all, then the "last active" could be a "problem", but on the other hand I don't really know how far the "hidden" could be brought.

Aleksi "Lex" Kilpinen:
This has been discussed before, and I seem to remember being told it's intended behaviour that it still gets updated even if you are hidden.

K@:
If you're not posting, but lurking, as some do, you could remain hidden, if that didn't update.

I just noticed that I'm hidden, which I hadn't realised.

It doesn't bother me, personally. But, I could imagine that some might be.

Kindred:
but the "hidden" just says "hidden from online users list"
not "hidden so that no one else knows your here"


this is completely as intended -- and makes complete sense to me. :P
