When I signed up for this forum I was given the privacy option to hide my online status, which I chose to apply. Now my profile is showing online.  tried to find the toggle in my user settings, but I don't see it. So has the option been removed? No big deal, I'm just curious.

Happy Friday Lady Mel!  go on your profile and click on the Edit Account Details.....scroll down and you will be able to choose the invisible or online status.  I just went to make sure that I knew where it was.

I swear I don't see it!

Under Edit Account Details there are six subcategories:
[h3]Basic Information[/h3][h3]Password[/h3][h3]Email Preferences[/h3][h3]Message Notifications[/h3][h3]Site Preferences[/h3][h3]Forum Preferences[/h3]
I do not see an invisible or online status listed under any of them.

Which heading should it be under?

Melissa, It is under Site Preferences. Just check the box. You can also go temporarily invisable by going to the bottom of any page and clicking on Make me Inactive (hidden) to the right of the number of Members and Guests on the forum. You can still do stuff just nobody sees you are logged in...JJ

Out of curiosity, I looked at site preference on my account and there is not a "invisible mode"!

I just checked again and does not show. Could that be because of some other selection made?

I was also invisible, but it appears that the feature has been removed.
Too bad, I used invisible mode because whenever the computer is on, It's connected to the forum....but I'm not always in front of the computer.
I used invisible mode so that if someone sends me a PM, they won't think I'm intentionally ignoring them.
Can it be brought back?

It's not about being anonymous and untraceable, not even close!
I used it for the reason stated above.
