    I like you and all, Chloe, but you won't change me.

    As usual, I'll take it as a compliment.

    I only noticed after you mentioned it. To me it's good, whatever they do to protect people's privacy is.

    Also, I never was much of a stalker anyways...

    I like it. I never understood why people could see exactly what thread/blog/picture the user is looking at :slight_smile:

    It might have been helpful to know if another member was crafting a reply to a wall message or specific thread, but that status also allowed other members to view if we were browsing in Anonymous threads all too often or have read a wall message or thread reply and chose not to respond. It made member's activity a little too open to the public.

    Am I the only person who was thinking what I did to loose that privilege or cause everyone to loose it, or am I just paranoid?

    All I can say is...YAAAAAAAY!!! Why didn't this happen sooner?! I hate it when people know what I'm doing and I hate it even more knowing what other people are doing! That's why I never preview someone's user profile (Only by accident though, and that is after making a wall message)

    It was an important change that needed to happen... knowing that another person was replying to an anonymous thread or was creating one because you viewed their profile page was extremely problematic and hurtful... imagine how you would feel if you wrote a very personal and intimate anon post and discovered that someone you cared about, saw that you were writing a post in the anon section and realized that you were the author shortly after because a thread magically appeared in the section a few minutes later... this happened to me a few times both as the friend and as the author and in both cases the feeling really was awful... It was also completely uncontrollable because the information was so clear to the eye and readily available.

    Personally, I'm thankful to the admins for fixing this issue and for them caring about the members of the forums, their emotional wellbeing and their privacy. (&&&)

    Yeah, I once saw who created what thread in the anonymous section. Yikes.
