Subject says it all. I don't see it anymore in either my "board settings" or "profile", etc.

What do you mean exactly? If you mean to not have your user name show up on the online users list, there is an option for that - correction there WAS an option for that I'll 'look' for it tonight. Thanks for catching that!

Does logging out accomplish what you wanted? You can still browse all the forums, but there is no indication anywhere that you are logged in as a particular user.

But you cannot post anonymously, so what is the point of browsing anonymously if you also want to post?

I don't know? Personally it doesn't matter to me, but it was an option before, so it should still be one. Maybe if you want to be able to read/send PMs but still be anonymous. It's just to prevent your name from showing up on the who's online list.

It's different on v4. Log out and log back in and an option box will be presented to you.
