    Another simple suggestion by me...

    The suggestion is that, if possible, when you have forum gold you can remove that little green thingy that shows your online status in the top of your picture on any of your posts. This would make you basically forum vanished, in a sense, because you would still be seen in the players online tab in the forum directory.

    I'm not sure if this is added for normal players, but if it is I suggest it be moved to forum upgraded people as it would be another reason to purchase a forum upgrade as, alas, they aren't very popular and it could increase purchases as people like secrecy.

    Note I don't have forum upgrades, so this isn't for personal gain.

    P.S. This isn't for ignoring people, this is so you don't show up as online if you decide to choose so.

    I just don't see this being useful to be honest. If you want to ignore people just ignore their profile I don't see a reason to not show up on forums.

    If you don't want people to know you're online I guess I don't see the harm. +1

    I'm not sure what you are suggesting here. The ability to appear offline via that green tab and the forum "online now" list is all ready a feature open to all forum accounts. So, my issue is that I am not sure if you are suggesting we limit it to just forum gold accounts, or just that you didn't know this feature was added. If you respond to my my post with which one you meant, I will gladly respond in greater length.

    Not sure if everyone can do it as I have forum gold, but when you hover your mouse over your name in the top right isn't there an option at the bottom that says "Show online status"?

    This function already exists.

    Close. Hover over your name, click preferences, uncheck "Show online status". Problem solved. Keep in mind, it will always show yourself online, but will appear to not be logged in to other players.

    As pointed out by other players this is already possible for all users so I'm going to lock this suggestion.
