    Members can uncheck a "Show Online Status" box and I'm supposing that would 'hide' them from the online list.

    Not saying that's what's happening to you just saying that's a thing that could be happening.

    I hesitated to say anything because I haven't actually done a proper assessment (determining that others are in fact online at the same time) but the few occasions I've thought to look I also only see myself online.

    Has someone been fiddling with the quantum stability module again?
    Seriously that thing needs to be in a locked box, not just sitting out where anyone can tamper with the local reality matrix.

    Yeah, I see the same thing when I visit the board. I just assumed everyone scattered when I showed up.

    I've always had "Show Online Status" checked (on).
    If nobody ever sees me in the online list it's got to be something else.

    I remember it working not that long ago, maybe a month or so back.

    Didn't someone make a change a few weeks ago to reduce the number of bots?

    I don't do that anymore. Nowadays I only show my member if someone asks to see it, and I feel like showing it to them.

    Probably has something to to with the crashes due to lack of disk space. Probably some other index needs repairing or rebuilding.
