Thanks for responding to my question about that. I always see myself listed at the bottom when I'm browsing forums. It does clear a few minutes after I logout, and I don't know how to interpret that set of information. Does everyone see their own name even if no one else does? Also, I haven't found any Profile settings related to masking online status or anonymous browsing. If anyone has any additional info to offer, I would appreciate it.

AndalayBay Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 If you see your name at the bottom of the topic or at the bottom of the forums, then you’re not browsing anonymously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is set in my profile to browse anonymously. Yet on some posts I see my name on the bottom under "currently online", and on other posts I don't. This is very strange.

AndalayBay Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 Really? I've not had that issue. I even use different devices and browsers. Very odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LenaWolfBravil Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 It doesn't show my name in this thread, for example, but it does in the one about the profile page beta test. And this happens both on Win10 and on my Android smartie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LenaWolfBravil Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 I think I figured it out. I've been toggling Beta profile on and off, and I think it may have messed things up. I had to go to my preferences and confirm that I wanted anonymous browsing, and now I don't see my name in any of the threads. I think that flag got toggled somehow with the switch to Beta and back.

HollownessDevoured Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 @LenaWolfBravil Since you and I seem to frequent the same topics and are actively responding, I think I would have seen you. I do look at who else is in the thread, I do not think I have seen your name ever listed. So might be some other buggy thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get freaked out when people can see which sites I'm browsing... Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pasquale1223 Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 After all this time - I finally seem to have worked it out. I found where I could set this under Account Settings -> Security and Privacy -> Online Status. I don't believe I had access to that before. I've been looking for quite awhile, ever since the migration, and hadn't been able to find any way to mask my online status or enable anonymous browsing. Since I changed the setting, I no longer see myself listed at the bottom of the page. I just thought I'd mention it in case anyone else is searching for it.
