Title: Can't see who's doing what online. Post by: Turboweasle on June 21, 2009, 05:25:01 pm You know how you could click on the link that showed who was doing what (e.g. 3 guests and 18 users)? Well, I can't click it now. ;-;

Admins value privacy. ;D Title: Re: Can't see who's doing what online. Post by: Turboweasle on June 21, 2009, 06:11:54 pm Haha, I have become a stalker with that thing. If nothings happening, I visit other sites. I miss it. ;.;
Title: Re: Can't see who's doing what online. Post by: Mum on June 21, 2009, 06:12:10 pm Did they do it on purpose?
Title: Re: Can't see who's doing what online. Post by: Turboweasle on June 21, 2009, 06:18:11 pm Who knows, Mum. I'm surprised they did anything, honestly. Maybe they'll start caring about what the MoH board is turning in to.

Title: Re: Can't see who's doing what online. Post by: the KR3AT3R on June 22, 2009, 04:12:16 am man I swear, about 7/10 times I would check that out, I would see "so and so is looking at the KR3AT3R's profile" dude, what the hell is there to look at? these arent profiles. thay just hold useless info in them. b)

Title: Re: Can't see who's doing what online. Post by: BMan on June 22, 2009, 09:23:51 am I saw that this was just brought up in the mod board. I hadn't seen it until now, so I didn't offer any feedback. Keep in mind that I don't like to name names.
Quote from: Someone that is very respected on this board Would it be possible to hide Admin and Global Moderator Activities in the "Who's Online" Link? Possibly, restrict access to Admins and Mods only? The site is evolving, that's for sure. Allowing ramdom members to know what we are doing in line with running the boards or allowing them to see what their fellow members on WiiUnite are doing is just too much information. I've never created an alternate account here so I was also wondering, can everyone also see everyone elses IP addresses? We started getting members who are more "hack savvy" than the average users who I really wouldn't want to give access to information like that. Just airing a few concerns, thanks! I will direct mods/admins to this topic to start an open discussion. Thanks for bringing it up. Title: Re: Can't see who's doing what online. Post by: Turboweasle on June 22, 2009, 09:46:04 am If it comes down to individual safeguarding, then I don't mind. I thought it was just an accident or something.
Title: Re: Can't see who's doing what online. Post by: Mum on June 22, 2009, 09:51:55 am I didn't think you could find out anymore info on someone just by seeing who is posting :-\ You can look at any ones profile at anytime, it doesn't get you anything more than what they want you to have.
Title: Re: Can't see who's doing what online. Post by: BMan on June 22, 2009, 09:58:16 am Good points, Mum.
The irony here is that I rarely use the "Who's Online" area, but I still have access to it. :-\ Title: Re: Can't see who's doing what online. Post by: Mum on June 22, 2009, 10:02:59 am I didn't even know it existed until Ress told me. It's just sometimes interesting to see who is posting and who is reading:-)
Title: Re: Can't see who's doing what online. Post by: OhioLawyer on June 22, 2009, 10:18:31 am We are working on it guys. Sorry for the confusion. Someone brought up a concern so I put it on hold temporarily to figure it out. One of the concerns was that it shows IP addresses, but only the mods/admins can see that so I don't think that is an issue. We just wanted to make sure our users were safe from intrusion by others that they don't want so please bear with us. If it turns up to be no threat we will probably put it back.
Title: Re: Can't see who's doing what online. Post by: Turboweasle on June 22, 2009, 10:19:34 am Sounds good to me.

Title: Re: Can't see who's doing what online. Post by: banthaPudu on June 22, 2009, 10:38:04 am I was the paranoid old man who aired a concern about it. :-[
I apologize to anyone who might have been upset by the action. :'( Title: Re: Can't see who's doing what online. Post by: BMan on June 22, 2009, 10:40:01 am ^No apology necessary. It was a legitimate concern. It shows you care O0
