I agree with katheryn. Although it's not an issue for me, I think I can understand why that could be a privacy issue for some.

Hate that part, was hoping there would be be a way to have it so my username doesn't show at the bottom with the "who's online" and I hate even more people being able to see exactly what I am doing, makes me feel unsafe and an invasion of privacy

You can go to your profile and select "edit options". From there (at the very top" you can select to be invisible.

Now one will see that you're here or what you are doing.

I have myself set to invisible but I still seem to show up on the bottom "who's online" and my user profile still seems to show what I am doing... maybe I am seeing things wrong? :Ponder:

I'm pretty sure you are only visible to yourself. No one else can see that you're online or what you're looking at, but you can.

Maybe when you're invisible, you only show up to you, but not to others. Like how a profile looks different. Right now, at 9:14, you show up as offline, and your post shows you posted at 9:08 (all of these are based on "my" time, I presume) on the left side of your post (and you're not in the "who's online" list). Maybe you logged off thought right after you posted.

You will show to yourself, hon, but you don't show to anyone else.

Sorry to disagree with you all, but I really like seeing who's online and what everyone is doing. Makes me feel part of a big family.

Also I can see what posts are being read and if someone is making a reply, I can go and check it out right away.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
