privacy at hc (users on line), page-3

madmacs ie users online Its good to see who is online when - it can make discussion easier if you time youre responses when they will see them.

I believe that a screen user name is just that it doenst tell us who you are in real life so if others see you online who gives a toss

If you really are concerned just get anothe nickname use thta for lurking - reading etc like i do (the other username i have but have never posted under i use for the lurking peeping tom setup) and then use youre main one for when you have comments etc.

But yes a feature to not show you online is an idea for HC to implement.
