The red "privacy" dot
 
So you have the option to "hide" when you're online, and if you choose this option, you have a red dot instead of a green. all seems fine.

problem is, it's only red when you're online, and when you sign off, it goes to the blue. so it really doesn't add any "privacy".

i'm not sure why someone would not want others to know they're online, but if they did, it doesn't work. any way to change that?

the username still also shows up at the bottom of the "forums" list.

yea, that's how people know you are on. because it's only red when you're on :lol: good idea with that, just a bad execution.

instead of it being red... shouldn't it just be the offline color when online? or red when off and online? lol

exactly my point. it should ALWAYS be red. not just when you're online. the way it is now, is basically it changes your green dot to red. that's it.

ahh, this explains alot. I thought there was an option to change the color of your online status indicator. LOL

Mr Mall Cop 04-28-2013 05:12 PM
