Default Online privacy option on this site

With the redesign I now see a small red or green sign indicating whether the poster is online or offline. In the FAQ section it says that the user can disable this feature in the USER CP area :

"In your User CP, there is a section under Settings & Options named 'Edit Options'.

Login & Privacy: set your
'Invisible Mode' - sets whether or not other members can see if you are online and what page you are viewing
"


However, in the User CP tab there is no such option offered that I can find. So I ask, Mr Moderator or other users, how do I turn off this feature which I find to be a privacy intrusion?

If you click 'UserCp' and then click 'Edit Options' is where you will find the invisible mode. This is in regards to the bottom of the page where it shows users on-line. The 'Online and Offline' next to the user name is built into the software and was in the old version. It was a red or green 'dot' that appeared next to the user name.

Regards

Only thing I can find under Login & Privacy is an option for "Allow vCard Download." Any ideas/suggestions Admin?

Patience, as mentioned this may be an issue to sort. Even with invisible mode 'offline' and 'online' still appears.

I don't have this problem...sounds like a setting on your computer.Maybe the font size is too big.Either that or your resolution in your display setting is low.
