I notice there’s an option on the profile edit page that mentions a listing of who’s logged on. I haven’t as yet noticed where one accesses that listing. Pointers? ---

Well, a list of posters was visible at the bottom of the main MB page for a bit, but that seems to have disappeared (unless, perhaps, nobody’s here right now?). ---

It’s been turned off due to privacy concerns. ---

Ya know Jdavis and all other moderators, it would be really helpful and cut down on the I-don’t-like-change anxiety if you all would just tell us when you are GOING to do something like that. I mean, I don’t like change, but I can adapt. so far, the new look looked pretty good to me. But after revising my profile info, I went looking for this “index” several posters had mentioned that show who’s online. Went to the home page, then the list of boards, then to GQ, then to profile again thinking that might clue me in; I didn’t want to post a topic asking where it is – others were talking about it, so I must be the dummy here. Go back to the ATMB and see Beatle’s topic and that’s when I find out, oh yes, the list of posters has been closed because of privacy concerns. I’m not saying have the techies spend hours fixing something – all I’m saying is,it’d be helpful to let us know when you do (or are going to do) something like that so I don’t spend 10 minutes searching and get my panties in a wad over the new look in general just because one feature has been stopped/closed/removed. Thanks.
