Can you please tell me if there is a way of switching off the “online” indicator when I use my forum – I’d like to be able to use it incognito.

Thanks!

If you have enabled hiding online status in forum – options – member settings then each user, admins included can set in their options in their sp profile, to hide their online status…

I have enabled “hiding online status in forum – options – member settings”. Where do I need to go to change my options in my sp profile to hide my online status?

Thanks

Do you not have a button linked to your Simple:Press profile at the top of the forum – next to the login/out button?

OK. Got it. Thanks – “Hide Online Status” is now shown as green. I clicked on “update Global options” and I ve reloaded the page, but at the bottom of the page, next to “Currently Online:” it still says my name….is this normal?

keep in mind, as an Admin, you will always see who is online – including yourself… but other users wont see you…
