[Suggestion] See Yourself as Offline in Privacy Mode

This suggestion stems from a bug report which details that there was something wrong with privacy mode because the thread creator could see himself marked "online" by the various online indicators across the site.

BUT—this is the intended behavior as stated by Redemption. Consequently, those of you browsing in privacy mode will be able to see yourselves as online.

This suggestion is for those members who expressed concern over this behavior and members who did not know this discussion was going on. Your opinions are appreciated.

If it isn't too much trouble, I'd like the "bug" restored as well, please. I've used Privacy Mode for over four years and it's disconcerting to see myself online.
I still stand by my previous comment.

re: [Suggestion] See Yourself as Offline in Privacy Mode

I don't mind seeing myself as online. I've also been a private browser since I joined and if I was the only one seeing myself, it doesn't matter at all.

re: [Suggestion] See Yourself as Offline in Privacy Mode

I feel a lot more comfortable if I'm hidden even from myself. After all, what's the point of seeing myself as online? I know I'm online.

Even if I leave Neo open for half an hour and don't touch anything, and am actually classed as offline, the second I refresh to check, I'm online again.

That was quite a show.

re: [Suggestion] See Yourself as Offline in Privacy Mode

I agree with Deis. I don't see the purpose of having it show you're online when you're supposed to be hidden.

re: [Suggestion] See Yourself as Offline in Privacy Mode

I honestly don't see any use to "fix" it. If you know your on privacy, the world doesn't end when you see yourself online. As a privacy user for many years (until recently actually), I never minded it as I knew what my privacy settings were.

re: [Suggestion] See Yourself as Offline in Privacy Mode

When I saw it I thought my forum settings weren't working.

I prefer seeing myself offline when I am offline, just seems to make more sense and it's what I'm used to.

quote Dark Arcanine
I prefer seeing myself offline when I am offline
You mean when you're online? And yeah, I prefer seeing myself as offline when I'm online because then I won't have the feeling that my settings aren't working properly. I have my setting on NeoFriends only, and since I'm not on my own friends list, I'd rather not appear to be online, even to myself. I know when I'm online and when I'm not, I don't need Neo telling me these things

re: [Suggestion] See Yourself as Offline in Privacy Mode

As far as everyone, including me, is concerned it's offline.

It's just odd seeing yourself online when you selected not to appear as such.

re: [Suggestion] See Yourself as Offline in Privacy Mode

Ah, it's back to how it was! Will it be staying like this for good now though? By "this" I mean not being able to see myself as online when posting while using Privacy Mode.
