The Privacy Protection Question Mark

By
Real Estate Agent with Coldwell Banker Weir Manuel

 Hi everyone.  Don't worry, I am not gone.  I just want you to think I am gone sometimes.

If you would like your Active Rain on-line presence to be turned off sometimes, just borrow that question mark.  When you want everyone to know you on line, throw back up your own picture.   More details can be found here.

Oh, yeah, if you decide to get one, let me know!

HeY ? and the Mysterians last performed in Pontiac, Michigan.  Never heard of them.  Thanks for the link Jay.  I guess I have made more than one dare to you.

Angus, somehow I think you are joking.

You took off your ? this AM so I saw you online... 

96 Tears by ? and the Mysterians... a classic.

With hooves I would be a better typist!

 

No, I really can't type. all these years and it's still two fingers. I will, on occassion, get into it and a flurry of words will come out. ... unfortunately letters will be missed or inverted and only the the "special" people will understand what I'm trying to say. Thank goodness for the Google Tool Bar and spell check.

There is potential for panic... with a chat box that all of a sudden says, Hi!

Moo

(well, maybe it's not quite that bad... I did have a 7 digit ICQ number "back in the day...")

I was never a good typist b4 the internet but I have got very fast in the past 12 years or so.  I just don't think about it. Thand goodness those fingers know what they are doing. When I try to do Mavis Beacon tutorial and do it her way I am not as fast. 

I hated chat but it has been over 10 years so maybe being a better typist would make a difference.

Just in case any of you hadn't noticed yet:

You can now go into "My Settings" from the "My Home" page and decide for yourself whether you want to be seen or not...

So.... as for me.... don't let anyone know I'm on right now..... shhhh....

so have you too shed the "Mysterious Purple?" Leanne? Am I the only "Mysterious Purple?" left on AR?

I saw that.. default seems to be invisibility.  I like it.  Thanks AR.

But guys, since Active Rain doesn't yet have an Instant Message function (or if it does, I don't know about it)  but since there isn't IM, who cares who is on line if you can't IM them......  ???  And the flip side:  I don't care if you know I'm here as long as you don't bug me with an IM.......

Kristal & MF both shed theirs last night/this morning and I'm about to come out from behind the mysterious question mark myself.  "See" you around!

Default was not invisibility when I went the "My Settings" page.  I had to un-check the box.

You are right... I went to see who was online and saw a "Mysterious Purple ?" clicked on it and it was me... not you.  gotta go change my visibility, invisibility...

General settings

 

Allow others to see when you're online

I went in and checked it and unchecked it and my ? is now not online...  I could go back to my photo or Columbus???  Decisions, decisions.

I am still visible even though the box is not checked.  What's up with that?  I would say the function is not live yet.  My box was NOT checked as default.

I just did that.  Funny.  I would actually like it if we could be selectively on as in I could select who can see me, but that might be tricky

I vote your picture of you!  Not Columbus.

Moo, now that I know you are typing with 2 fingers, I am going to read your posts extra slowly.

Good idea, girl!  Sometimes you feel anonymous, sometimes you feel like a nut!
