Stealth Mode?
April 3, 2014 at 11:19 am
What is it? What does it do?

I tried enabling it to see what it did but it didn't change anything.

Just curious.

It prevents your username from appearing on the front page of who's online.

I have it enabled.

Actually, that's the "Hide me from the Who's Online list" option on the options page of the user CP. Stealth mode removes static references to atheism.

With Stealth Mode enabled, static references to "Atheist Forums" are removed and replaced with "PC Forums".

Out of curiosity, does anyone who does have this feature enabled mind telling me why they like using it? I don't get it personally.

It doesn't actually work anymore, but it used to completely change the theme so the site looked like a forum for PC issues. Basically a few years ago we had some users who wanted to hide their atheism from their parents and didn't want their parents seeing them visiting a site with such a prominent "atheism" banner.

that's what I thought it was supposed to do, but nothing changed when I enabled it.

Thanks for clearing that up. Smile

Out of curiosity, why doesn't it work anymore? Or why was it disabled?

Updates to the software require work on the back end to re-implement all of the tweaks that Tibs and the gang have added for us.

The great mobile theme with the ability to give kudos, the image auto fit etc etc.

Things are done as needed, and the stealth theme hasn't been requested until mentioned here.

Ah. We'll don't reimplement it just because I'm asking. I don't need it I just wondered what it did. Smile
