Title: being "hidden"
Post by: Rubyfog on March 22, 2017, 06:11:19 PM

Welcome, Rubyfog!  :wave:

To appear hidden, all you have to do is go to "Account Settings" (at the top right of the screen, under your screen-name) and un-tick the box that says "Show others my online status."

For the avatar, you would go to "Forum Profile" (also under your screen-name, at the top right), and then you can select between 1. no avatar, 2. choose avatar from gallery, 3. specify avatar by URL, and 4. upload an avatar.

Please let me know if you have any further questions and I'll try to help. :)

Oopsy, radical - I think you meant to post that here: http://outofthefog.net/C-PTSD/forum/index.php?topic=5985.msg38230#msg38230

Welcome, Rubyfog.

Apologies for what must have seemed like a bewildering threadjack in this thread
I have no idea how my reply to Mourningdove, in a different topic, came to be posted here.  I had never read any of this topic until today.

I tend to assume my running Windows Vista is responsible for almost all weird computer things I encounter.
