Hide forum profile no longer available?

Just curious but I noticed that if you click on your portrait and go to Preferences → Interface there is no longer an option to hide profile and history. It seems like characters that did this before still have hidden profiles but new chars or ones that did not hide them before can no longer do this?

Search didn’t help much to see if this is some new forums thing or it was removed?

Good. We need Btags on here. That way we can easily spot the Trolls and Blizzard can get rid of them easier.

Yeah I don’t see the option (tho I haven’t exactly needed to personally).

Is alright :+1: if someone is a fan they can see anything. :rofl:

It was a useless feature too, because the search system let you enter someone’s forum name in anyways and listed all their posts and comments anyways.

good to know I get to keep my hidden profile, I really enjoy it!

Guess it’s a good thing I never felt the need to hide anything.

theres and “offline” option now.

wonder what that does?

I’ve not tried it.

This is just a guess - but maybe it’s a backdrop for a forum chat interface in the future or maybe our characters will have a status (online) on our posts.

that would be nice.
Like a little lightbulb that showed lit up for online and off for well offline.

Uh oh… :face_with_open_eyes_and_hand_over_mouth:

Joking aside, could probably be a weird glitch with the forums.

Looks like it logs you out of the forums and battle.net immediately :wink:

May be the guy who was asking if it could provide ip/geo location of forum posters who were trolling. Def should do that along with making the mod panel for everyone right? What could go wrong?

We can already do this, most trolls are known, they certainly post enough to be spotted. The thing is only those who act out egregiously are booted, those that just post troll topics over and over again are slapped on the wrist and sent to the corner.

One has nothing to do with the other. The only thing a hidden profile does is stop creepy weirdos from watching you type and commenting on it.

Never understood why people feel compelled to hide their characters and such. I like being able to see what some of the DK forum commenters have for gear and such easily. Beats manually typing in their name to Rio. Helps me figure out how I’m doing by comparison.
