Sourdough Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 I was checking my profile and noticed one of my followers was logged in anonymously. How did I know this? I moused over their icon and it told me in the popup. I don't know if this is supposed to happen, but if it is it kind of defeats the point of logging in anonymously. Is this how it's supposed to work, or is it a bug? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuttButt Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Maybe it's only because you're following each other, I dunno. Tell me one of your followers that's logged in anonymously via PM that we don't share and I'll tell you what it says from my end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuttButt Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Okay so I looked and it only says they last visited four hours ago, nothing about being logged in anonymously. So I reckon it's either because they're following you or you're following them. I also don't see them in the "who's online" list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onnes Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Huh. So "Follow" basically does nothing but let people spy on you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MuttButt Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Huh. So "Follow" basically does nothing but let people spy on you?Posting anonymously is pointless anyways because your posts are still under your username. The only thing it does is keep you from showing up on the online users list really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't call that useless; I've always found it weird having what I'm doing at any given moment broadcast publicly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlynnCoyote Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 (edited) It's just what this forum software calls hiding user activity. I wouldn't call that useless; I've always found it weird having what I'm doing at any given moment broadcast publicly.It only applies to this forum's activity, so what? It's not like it can tell people what I'm watching on pornhub in the other tab. Edited December 2, 2015 by FlynnCoyote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
