Not sure if this is an issue or not but it looks weird to me, Someone responded to a message yet it said they were offline

Peter Duggan · July 31, 2007, 07:49:55 PM

Possibly a 'hidden' user!

Miles Marshall · July 31, 2007, 07:50:52 PM

Smart

My preference (and one I apply as a matter of course on every forum I join).

You can still see me online cause you got a special On Hiatus status

Peter Duggan · July 31, 2007, 08:31:21 PM

Nope, I can't see you online but I *can* read your profile! But it's still a useful setting (so who's going to bother with that all the time?)...

Miles Marshall · July 31, 2007, 08:33:55 PM

Yeah I like it

Peter Duggan · July 31, 2007, 08:42:12 PM

See, if you check your own forum (assuming you have one) as Admin you'll see hidden users in italics. And, while you'll also get to know who habitually posts from 'hidden' on any other forum you frequent (it's usually obvious enough if they're posting a lot), it still offers some measure of privacy in not constantly advertising your presence at 1:40am local time, discouraging gratuitous PMs and keeping your actions out of the Who's Online list (which is why I like it too)!
