Then people will not be able to see any identities you might have entered.

Okay, but I see when we click on name of any member a status on right comes, viewing so and so thread and in some members a blank space comes when they are active also. What is the option for that?

That is reserved for gold members.

So can You tag here some non gold members to check that what I am saying in post 13?
Or if you have another non-gold member account ( I think you can create multiple accounts), can you check that?
Or could I tag some members here also?

Generally to set invisible mode you must be a gold member. There are free ways to get gold membership.

Know that. Doesn't it creates a income loss for you! :rolleyes:
Is mooncrater a gold member?
I think we cannot know that by a mobile device.

Not if you weren't going to buy it any way. The other ways help PF too.

Yes, at the time when you have written post I was logged out.
Greg and OCR are both logged out right now, but their last activity still shows. Whether you are logged on or not is irrelevant.

To me OCR last activity is not being shown.
I think you are a staff member that is why you can see that?
I am logging out, see if my last activity is being shown.
Greg and OCR both might not have pressed log out button from My PF.
They might have simply left the PF tab open and after 10 minutes if they are doing nothing it means they are kind of logged out.

I always press the logout button after my work is done and login whenever I wish by typing name and password.
