Cliff Ton 10,465 Posted January 19, 2014 Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 I ought to know this but I don't. Some people have obviously cracked it, maybe by accident. If you hover your cursor over a person's user name, you get a summary of their status, including the heading "Last Active". However, in some cases that information is Private, like this Where is the setting for that information? How can it be changed? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
littlebro 234 Posted January 19, 2014 Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 I think the private ID follows a tick box in the log-in page. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mick2me 3,033 Posted January 19, 2014 Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 Maybe right? Last Log in as invisible? Last login may be visible to Admins? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Braddy 160 Posted January 19, 2014 Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 Also can't see where people are in the world when on line like it used to be? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Pianoman 1,534 Posted January 19, 2014 Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 No. I had wondered about that. It is nice to know where people are writing from. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FLY2 10,108 Posted March 10, 2017 Report Share Posted March 10, 2017 I don't know if anyone can answer this, and it may even be in the wrong topic, but can anyone explain why at around 11.30 last night, the 'Users Online ' section in Activity showed over 200 'Guests', and 9 members online. Had there been a sudden massive interest, or had they all come in from the pub. Also, at 7 this morning, there were four anonymous members online. Strange, I can never see the need for a genuine member to hide their identity behind the 'Anonymous ' button. Maybe it's just me being pedantic for once !

DAVIDW 1,683 Posted March 10, 2017 Report Share Posted March 10, 2017 Someone on the "Nott'm Way Back When" , Facebook page posted a link to Nottstalgia . It was after the pic of the YMCA hut , Carrington Street was posted . They have nearly 15,000 "members" so I guess 200 could have clicked through ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Enigma. 1,533 Posted March 10, 2017 Report Share Posted March 10, 2017 the trouble with that Nott'm Way Back When group is the pair that run it dont care how they get their photos and never rarely credit people from where they aquire them from - thay have shared no end of mine from my photobucket account even though ive got it set to private thats why i will now rarely put a photo up here 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ayupmeducks 1,730 Posted March 10, 2017 Report Share Posted March 10, 2017 If you have photo editing software, slap Copyright and your name across your photos to stop people copying them. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ayupmeducks 1,730 Posted March 10, 2017 Report Share Posted March 10, 2017 I also add, make a complaint to FB if someone uses your photos, tell them they are using copyright protected material without permission, eventually FB will remove the offender to protect themselves from a copyright court case. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,108 Posted June 2, 2017 Report Share Posted June 2, 2017 I see there has been a member or two regularly signing in anonymously. Maybe it's just me, but I find this offensive and totally unnecessary. I get the feeling that we're being spied on, and it's a bit more of the 'Big Brother' syndrome. I for one will log off whenever I see an anonymous member online. Overreacting...... Maybe! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Pianoman 1,534 Posted June 2, 2017 Report Share Posted June 2, 2017 I had someone 'following' me. He/she had put no details about themselves, no idea where they came from and they had never posted. I found that rather creepy. I have now set my profile so that no one can 'follow' me. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
benjamin1945 16,158 Posted June 2, 2017 Report Share Posted June 2, 2017 Can't see why you find this offensive...........i may be one that sometimes come on anonymously........and there is a good reason for it,certainly not to spy on anybody,..........when logging on with my phone it sometimes won't let me sign on,i presume this makes me anonymous ?...........and i assume it happens with others?

FLY2 10,108 Posted June 2, 2017 Report Share Posted June 2, 2017 That's a strange one Malcolm ! I think there should be a pruning of what facilities are available. I reckon members should be up front and show their identities, or ..........OFF ! You're excused then Benjamin. I forgot about all these gizmos like Smart Phones. Thanks for the reply. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
benjamin1945 16,158 Posted June 2, 2017 Report Share Posted June 2, 2017 Think with all these Gizmo's ,they certainly out-smart me..........lol............noticed the other day someone started 'following me'........think its a long lost 2nd cousin,who seems interested because i sometimes mention members of our family that he only heard about when young,and hopefully he enjoys it............i certainly don't mind...............

FLY2 10,108 Posted June 2, 2017 Report Share Posted June 2, 2017 Don't worry Ben, I've got my 'Grumpy Head ' on at the moment. I had a wonderful weekend away over the Bank Holiday, but have had lethargy, headaches, mild vertigo, backache and unusual bowel movements since I returned. On top of that, I gave both cars a good wash yesterday morning, and now it's bleddy raining. Grrrr ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cliff Ton 10,465 Posted June 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2017 1 hour ago, The Pianoman said: I had someone 'following' me. He/she had put no details about themselves, no idea where they came from and they had never posted. I found that rather creepy. How did you become aware of that ? You can see when it first happens because it comes up on the Home Page in the faded grey typeface and announces that "so-and-so has started following xxx" (in the same style as the notification that "so-and-so has received reputation from XXX). 1 hour ago, benjamin1945 said: i may be one that sometimes come on anonymously........and there is a good reason for it,certainly not to spy on anybody,..........when logging on with my phone it sometimes won't let me sign on,i presume this makes me anonymous ?...........and i assume it happens with others? If your phone won't let you sign in, I think that results in you becoming a 'Guest'. As far as I know, the only way to be anonymous is when you log in at the top right, and you tick the box.......

The Pianoman 1,534 Posted June 2, 2017 Report Share Posted June 2, 2017 I just went to my profile and looked in the panels on the left of your screen. The panel below 'Warning Points' at the top is 'Followers'. Now I have no 'followers' Quote Link to post Share on other sites
benjamin1945 16,158 Posted June 2, 2017 Report Share Posted June 2, 2017 i noticed my follower when his name popped up stating so.........might have others then,don't know,.........ive never deliberately signed in anonymously........so i must just be a guest from time to time..............?

FLY2 10,108 Posted June 2, 2017 Report Share Posted June 2, 2017 Oh Ben, don't worry about it. I wish I'd never mentioned about anonymous members now. I'm well renowned for putting 2 and 2 together, and getting 5 ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
