As of today, I can see my username right at the bottom of the relevant page, even though I’ve disabled this in my account settings. What on earth is going on now, apart from the MSFN outages that have been going on for over a week? Is this supposed to be a new feature, or has the forum software gone completely haywire? 

Working for me. I just now changed my Online Status from Visible to Hidden to Visible; Recently Browsing on a refreshed page correctly tracked each change.

 

Not working for me. My setting was 'Hidden" for years. But as of today, I can suddenly see my username. That has never happened before.

I can't see your username. It's hidden.

What page? Any post's Recently Browsing and the Online Users page (grayed when Hidden) work as expected for me. I don't see AstroSkipper in either place. If you've toggled it several times in testing, that might have fixed any glitch.

 

For example, this page here:

Perhaps it is only showing you TO YOU.

What happens if you log in on one machine, but then browse on ANOTHER DEVICE (ie, your beloved Android) but DO NOT LOG IN ???

My guess (strictly just a guess) is that your Androind (not logged in) will NOT reveal "to you yourself" that you are logged in and on MSFN *on a different device*.

Ok. You can't see my username but I can as of today. If I open another browser where I'm not logged into my account, I can't see my username, either. So something must have changed.

And it is not Android related. Here is a screenshot taken from New Moon 28 on my beloved, old Windows XP computer:

I don't think you understood me.  I was not claiming it was Android-related.

 

It's all tied to logged in or not FOR YOU and whether you (and you alone) see yourself listed in Recently Browsing but ONLY in the browser/device that you are logged into MSFN.

The REST OF US (whether logged in or not) DO NOT see you listed in Recently Browsing.

Did I say that? No. I said it is not Android related. No more, no less. And the problem is of course that I CAN SEE ME. That never happened before.

A s s . . .

I'm moving on, your arrogance does not equate to confidence, it's just arrogance, "nothing more, nothing less".

 

But yeah, IN CLOSING, "you win", you have isolated something that affects YOU and ONLY you.

Congratulations.  Here's your trophy.

Eloquentia non est tua vis. And a few other things as well. Only people who are verbally impoverished resort to insults. BTW, nice image, is it supposed to become your new avatar?

@xper, I know a lot of good, decent people and contributing members who had to leave MSFN because of such constant insults from @NotHereToPlayGames, and it looks like nothing has ever been done about it, this topic is just one example of thousands. This member acts like this in practically every conversation, I myself stopped posting and participating because of it!
