Does the `Allow users to hide profile` site setting still disable the option to hide the presence?

[Moin]

Continuing the discussion from Split profile hiding and presence:

The site setting Allow users to hide profile still says that this will “Allow users to hide their profile and presence.” Is that still true? I have the impression that the presence toggle is visible regardless of whether the setting is enabled or disabled.

Hmm yes, that seems to be the case… I also notice that with this disabled

it only applies to topics, not chat, and we can still see presence there

Seems like we can use some clarification around presence site settings

I think that’s a known bug

Hide presence: there are still a few places where it doesn't work

Hello I’ve found some places where I think it should hide online presence too. Chat presence, when you write a message it show on the bottom even if you hide your presence. I think on user page summary, in statistics the Seen section should also be hidden for users if hide presence active. It would also be good if it works like the 2 point with the “Last Seen” User Card theme component. Thanks

Bumping this…

If Allow users to hide profile is unchecked,
and Default hide presence is unchecked,
Users will not be able to Hide my public profile, but will still retain the toggle for Online/Offline.

However, even if the user toggles to offline, they’re still present. Wouldn’t that be “misleading”?
