What is a Hidden User?

Client Joined: Sep 10, 2004 Posts: 166

Hello,

I have seen some Nuke sites where in the User Info block, they show a count for the number of hidden users. What is a hidden user? I know you can go into your profile and hide your email address but I don't see any options to hide your online status.

Thanks to anyone who can answer this question.

Cheers!

It's in the Profile and it's towards the bottom under Preferences => Hide your online status:

Thanks. Upon further inspection, it appears that there are actually two "profiles", one in the main area (Your Account) and another one in the Forums. I thought the profile in the forums area only applies to the forum area. Do the settings there apply all throughout other parts of the site that are not forum areas? If someone wants to hides their online status in the forum profile, does it also hide their status if they are anywhere else on the site?

Some do, some don't. I have modified my Site Info and WhoIsWhere block to honor the setting.

OK, makes sense. Thanks!
