So,
I have logged in to my user account, for example as 'Mark', and entered the 'Change Info' page/panel.
I switched the 'Hide your online status:' to 'Yes'.
If I view my website on another PC, either as anonymouse or as another registered user, I still see 'Mark' is olnline'?
What gives?
Any ideas? |

No..That it is not Kevin.
The change is immediate...I log in or out of the account from one PC... then on my second PC I see the user loged on or off immediately...Even though the user has chosen 'Yes' to 'Hide your online status:' in their account settings. |

I am having the same problem too...
I log in to my user account...click the 'Change Info' link, then i switched the 'Hide your online status:' option to 'Yes'.
In the user info block I can still see i am online.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the field that controls this is "user_allow_viewonline" which is set in your_account/index.php. But the block_User_Info.php file never references this so naturally no matter what you do to it a logged in user will still show. I guess that could be called either a "bug" or a "lack or coordination." There should probably be a "where user_allow_viewonline=1" clause in the SQL or even better a clause that discriminates between and admin (showing all users) and a normal user (showing just those who didn't choose to hide themselves).
It's also useful to watch the sessions table in a phpmyadmin window as you login and out. Fascinating in fact if you are into these things. |

I believe the "Hide Online Status" only refers to the Who's Online section of phpbb. In other words, a block such as UserInfo (nuke) isn't reading the usertable online status (phpbb).
This has been a problem for ages and there are many blocks and modules which will show you online despite your profile setting. |
