What does the hidden mean, who are they?

[Cryxis, Prince of Doom]

i am talking about the bay 12 home screen if anyone was confused

[Cryxis, Prince of Doom]

I also wonder if this should have gone under life advice?

[Frumple]

Um, just that? You can hide whether you're logged in or not. In, like, that huge list of names that's normally below the main index.

Also, edit button. Well, modify, technically. Either way. No need to triple post.

wow i feel like an idiot right now

Don't worry about it, this post will gradually filter through the board like silt between gravel. The only way anybody would ever see it is if someone digs it up and posts in it, like a salmon using her tail to cover her eggs will dig a furrow in the gravel and kick up the silt. Eventually the silt travels downstream until it meets the ocean, perhaps stagnating its journey for some time in a reedy brackish marsh, before flowing out with the enduring river water to the sea. There it settles to the ocean floor and merges with the endless vista of deep diatomaceous ooze. Until someone digs that up to use the abrasive diatom skeletons in toothpaste. Then the silt particle, brushing against someone's gums, dislodges a particle of food and is spit into the sink, where it eventually makes its way through the plumbing and a waste treatment facility, and the treated water is expelled in a local lake - from which a meandering gravelly stream issues.

I'm not entirely sure what that silt was but your mistake will eventually be buried under new threads and be forgotten, unless people keep bumping it back up where every bay12er will see it and laugh at the silly comments.

Clearly we have a duty to keep this thread on the front page for the entire shelf life of the universe.

So how do you become hidden anyway? I'm super blind and can't figure it out. It's not when you log on, nor is it on your profile...

[Frumple]

Profile -> Account Settings -> Show others your online status -> Uncheck the box.

[Tiruin]

You can become hidden?!

My goodness.
Do you know how much this is going to help with trolling people in forum games?

I would like to know too.
I didn't know Bay12 forums had become Facebook 1.5

I'm pretty sure that thing has been there forever. If you tag someone as a 'buddy' while you're on their profile, it bolds their name in the list of users logged in so it's easier to tell if they're around.
