Online Status Message

Hi, Doug...I have a question about the privacy setting for showing a posters online status.  I was under the impression that when you checked the box for "no one" to see your "online status" that all references to your online status would be eliminated, but that doesn't seem to be the case because even though the "currently online" message does not show, directly under a posters helpful and post count, there is a message that states the date of your last visit which pretty much makes the privacy setting useless, imo.

Would it be possible to eliminate that date if you have checked the "no one" box for showing your online status?  doug@ebay

How much better life would be, if a liar's pants really did catch fire!

Re: Online Status Message

Hi @lovtaco0, I've done some testing with tagging and spacing, and haven't been able to duplicate the issue.

 

Let's take a look at browser and platform. Desktop or mobile? MAC or PC? If mobile, IOS or Android?

 

Thanks!


 

doug@ebaythe space here will not be recognized because the tag is the first word in the sentance.

 

But doug@ebay the space will show here because the tag is not the first word in the sentence.

 

doug@ebay, here the space will be recognized because I put a comma after the tag.

 

Sorry for all the tags - they were necessary to demonstrate the technical issue.
