RayleeRose Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 When you log into your account online, can in world friends see that you are online? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josie Taffeta Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Yes!,They can and so can you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayleeRose Posted February 29, 2012 Author Share Posted February 29, 2012 So someone in world can see that you have accessed your online account? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Mistwood Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Just to clarify your question... Are you asking if someone can see you when you sign in here - on the forums? Or if you are accessing your feed from the website while NOT being in-world? There is no way to hide your online status when you are in-world. Someone could tell you were on the website if they look at the times that you post in the forum or on your feed. I think there is a green dot by your name in the feeds if you are online (on the website) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayleeRose Posted February 29, 2012 Author Share Posted February 29, 2012 To clarify: I am asking... If you are here in the forum logged in and someone is in world, can they tell that you are here? That even though you are not in world, can they see from there that you are online? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynn Barthelemy Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 and just to add: they are on your friends list - they are in world and you can see from here that they are online. Can they tell that you have accessed SL online and are in the forums? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, they can only see you online in the forum when they are also on the forum. Not from inworld. It is almost impossible to be invisible or hide anyway, unless you use another account (alt) that has no friends and nobody knows about. The green dot in your profile is only green and showing when you are inworld and have the settings to either: show online for everybody or show online for friends only (am not inworld to check, but I think that is how it is called). When you use your my.secondlife.com/your.name on the web, it will not show you as online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caitlin Tobias Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 When I click on your name here in the forum (so not inworld and not your inworld profile) I can see whether you are online or in this case from 5 mins ago, you seem to be offline, but it shows your last date and time of visit. You can change these setting in your forumprofile, I do not have the time to look and make screenshots, but it is not that difficult, just go to your own profile here and browse around in the privacy settings.

Ian Undercroft Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 I have noticed that if you are online in the SL feeds (my.secondlife.com) someone searching your web-based profile from within SL (using V3 or Firestorm) may see the green dot on your profile and could falsely assume that you are inworld.

emmettcullen93 Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 if you are not inworld but online in the forums your friends inworld cannot see you online but you can see that they are online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Undercroft Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 As far as I'm aware - your SL Dashboard (where you can see online friends), the Forums and the Feeds are 3 separate websites. It's important to be clear about which one you are speaking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ooh, I have not noticed that...will try it out! Not that I mind who sees me online and where on the SL-sites/world, but just because I am curious!
