Sorry, I think I got two issues mixed up here. I'm actually asking how I can make my profile say "private" and still show me online. I guess I should have asekd this on a different thread than one about whether the mods/admin show online or not?

I'd like to be able to show that I'm online, but not who whether I'm reading a post, checking who's online, replying to a PM or whatever. That's what I assumed the "private" mode was. But I can't seem to get my profile to show "private". Is that something that posters can do? Should I be asking this under the technical forum instead?
