There used to be a green light on

[cruz chic]

To show you were signed in. Now it says that person is online beside their name. I rarely sign out so it looks like I'm online all the time.

That's weird, now it's back to the green light:confused:. No, I haven't been drinking :D.

There is a green light on beside your name.... possibly the icon didn't load? So you got the text version?

Yes, I bet that was it. CC has been acting weird since I downloaded iOS 8. Thanks for the explanation:).

I never noticed the green light - never too old to learn!:cool:

Sapper1 and TiogaCruiser reported problems with Safari after the upgrade. They grabbed Chrome from the app store and the site works fine. That would indicate that it's a Safari issue. It's been reported on the Apple support forums, so I would assume that they'll patch Safari at some point in the future.

 

Both Safari & Chrome are Webkit browsers, so it's likely a bug in the Safari code.

I should try to use Crome more. I do have it. Just like safari more because most of my passwords are it it. Thx for the tip.

If you are invested in Safari, I would only use Chrome temporarily until the bug gets squashed. I set myself to Invisible in the CC user control panel. I see a red light for myself. To everyone else, I'm posting Ninja style.

I'll likely do that. You're a tricky dude ;):D.

I have been trying for sges to figure out how to do that!:D Do I have to go into my User CP? Invisible, eh?

Yes. It's in the visibility settings.

You show gray to me rather than red.:confused:

[RuthC]

That's correct. POA sees his light as red, which is confirmation that he is in "invisible" mode. Everyone else sees it as "grey", which is the same color shown when someone is off line. Invisible! :D

[Vict0riann]

Yay. I'm red, now, too. Thanks POA1...:D

1. Click on the User CP link.
   
2. Click the "Edit Options" link on the left.
   
3. Check the "Use Invisible Mode" box.
   
4. Scroll down the page and click on the "Save Options" button.
   

Like so:

I never bother signing out of CC so I am guessing I always show as green. What is the advantage in being invisable or in signing out so you show as grey?

I'm not trying to be confrontational here---just genuinely curious.

I sign out as I thought people would get angry if they thought I was on and ignoring a potential question. I guess that is a bit weird now that I put it in black and white. :o I also sign out because I sometimes (like now) get on CC at work when I am at lunch or before I start my day. At home I sign out so that the other 3 people don't post something by mistake on our shared home computer. It would be an accident....:eek::rolleyes: but still!!

[Krazy Kruizers]

Green lights, red lights, grey lights, etc., I have never paid any attention to them. Couldn't tell you what color of light is beside anyone's name.

I also sign out when I am not online.

The light "goes out" after about 15 minutes of inactivity. So, even if you are logged in, your light turns gray after you haven't clicked on anything or refreshed the page. I like invisibility for two reasons. One, it sounds cool. Two, it gives the impression that I have a life and might be engaged in some sort of actual productive activity, instead of hanging out on the Interwebs.

 

Of course, my job involves a lot of hanging out online, so the point is moot. (Attention people: It's moot, not mute. Don't make me have to come over there. :D)

I've never signed out either. In fact, I wonder if I would remember my password if I did.:eek:

You are showing grey now so maybe you can stay signed on and show grey when offline.
