Title: What does "hidden" mean
Post by: sadler on January 24, 2013, 10:51:14 AM

Hi Scunner

Where the listing of people viewing certain topics on this forum appears, what does the category "hidden" mean and how does anyone achieve this category?

Hidden means that you don't show up by user name in the "users online" list at the bottom of the main page.

To do this, it's Profile (Blue Bar Above) -> Modify Profile -> Account Settings -> "Show others my online status" - (untick)

Thanks Scunner.  Just wonder why anyone would want to do that, thought it was something a bit sinister like the tax man or someone. ;D

Some people prefer to not broadcast the fact that they are browsing. Nothing sinister here, even taxmen are welcome to join  :)

And some of us just have no self respect.  ;)
