Why do some people hide their activity on here?

What do you mean by 'hide their activity'?

You know. With a newspaper. On a train, like.

they're probably soviet spies

or have a very strict teacher that smacks them on the knuckles with a wooden ruler if they get caught chit-chatting, then get sent to matron who pulls thier pants down and whips their bare bottoms, better stop now as I'm getting far too excited and I have naked bike ride later.

PEOPLE WHO GAMBLE HAVE LOTS OF SECRETS THAT THEY HIDE ,AND TELL LIES

THE MORE MONEY THEY GAMBLE THE MORE SECRETS AND LIES

Well, I'm glad that's cleared everything up!    If somebody could just run it by me a little more slowly......

AAAAHHHHHHH. do you feel left out???, do you want to look at what anonymous people posted 1/2/3/4/5/6/7/8/9/10 years ago.

MMMMM, have you sought help for you obsession, I understand the MP for  Hackney North and Stoke Newington, is trying to get a freedom of info on social media sites through parliament, she obviously has something in common with your goodself.

Here is a link. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diane_Abbott, so you can contact a like minded person.
If you have nothing better to do than trawl through forumites history, then perhaps you should consider standing yourself/s. I have no doubt the world would be a better place knowing what shíte I posted previously, especially when píssed 

who is this DavidFishwickMiniBusSales imposter?

he's in good company of course, Ken Masters aside.

naydam

when trying to find a thread you know that somebody posted on recently, instead of reading the entire forum for it, or you can't recall the thread title, you simply put their username in the search box on the beta forum, and it will reveal the last 30 or so posts only they made, thus making your search a lot easier.

'Hiding your activity' means that when somebody has recent history, you get a blank page.

And my question is 'Why bother to hide it?'

If you don't want your stuff to be seen, don't post, it's that simple.

Hi David, it's no surprise that you are in the Super league posted above. Only erudite, intellectual and  humorous, forumites allowed.

Riiight. Gotcha. Might be handy to know. I don't much like the new forum, though. Still...at lest I know now. Thanks for the info. 

OOOOPPPPPSSS, forgot to say, MODEST.

AAAHHHH Naydam approves, how nice.

Perhaps we should start a mugbook or twatter fred where everything we facken do all day is posted for the worlds saddo's to read. What do YOU think.

I hate the new forum.

I usually go on there once a week to look at bigmo's picture threads.

It's easy to spot my own threads on either forum as I have a long username.

The only other thing the Beta forum is handy for is seeing if anybody has replied to your threads, or your replies on other threads, because if you were the last one to post on it, your name comes up in purple on the menu.

foxy,

I don't really care if people hide their recent activity, it's still findable, but takes longer. 

When you're in, shall we say 'debate' on the politics forum, the home of the true nutters, it's handy to get to a thread quickly rather than searching for ages.

I was merely asking why, as you had to click on something to hide it when you stated using the forum, why not leave it 'un-clicked'/

Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa, I have said the Confiteor and amended my ways. I will un-tick the relevant box to show my browsing history. FWIW I only ticked it because some príck years ago took to unpicking every word I posted (even when pissed )which became tedious to say the least.

Done.

That's nice.

Why do some people hide their activity on here?

because some people just post a lot of immature cr@p on here which the next day they wished they hadn't.

Guilty as charged!!

If you don't want your stuff to be seen, don't post, it's that simple.

There are plenty of stalkers on here.
These crackpots can go through their targets' old posts looking for stuff to dig up against them.

So once someone has built up a 'fan club' it's understandable that they might want to make their job harder by hiding their old stuff.

Don't worry Foxy just think you might be sensible like me one day.

I live in that hope MMH,

I don't give a fack who sees what I've posted.

Unless you post plain faces or other faces your post will be ignored

Nor me, I didn't even know there was such a facility to hide to hide your history. I just post what is happening to me in my world, no reason whatsoever for me to hide anything from anyone.

It is what it is.

HEY,you gotta hide your activity away

Plain faces please!!!!

I either ignore them DrC or tell them to FO.
Either way they don't annoy me.

never knew it existed until this thread , how longs it been there

dont think many have much to hide on here , but 90% of chit chatters could maybe cool it down on pakistanis and muslims a little

Grey Squirrels are legitimate targets though.
Foreign invaders that take over our native Red Squirrel habitats and eat all their food.

THE RED SQUIRELLS USED TO BE THE ONLY SQUIRELLS IN BRITAIN UNTILL THE GREY SQUIRRELS WERE LET INTO BRITAIN,THEN THE GREY SQUIRRELS TOOK OVER AND DROVE THE RED SQUIRRELS OUT AND RULED ,AND NOW THE RED SQUIRRELS ARE VERY FEW AND LIVE WHERE THEVE BEEN DRIVEN TOO.THEY DONT LIVE IN HARMONY ,

I think you can only block the convenient facility to see old posts 
Aren't they still there in the threads if you care to go through them?

Please tell me if I'm wrong.

Everything is still here.

See my 12:11 post yesterday.

Spelling what's your thoughts on Grey Squirrels?

Vermin.

You can kill grey squirrels but you have to be sure not to cause them unnecessary suffering.

So don't tell anyone if you kill one or you might find yourself in trouble with the RSPCA.
They love spending fortunes on taking people to court.

So do the Grey Squirrels I'm talking about.

Oh dear.

''Vermin.''

Reported!

I don't like squirrels.

I had a baby squirrel in my garden last summer, the little bugger used to follow me around the garden.
Many times I'd be in the garden and he'd be there on one of the trees near me or around my feet. Then I'd have to be careful I didn't step on him.

Perhaps he could sense that I'm kind and wouldn't harm a fly.

Although I did shoot it.
