Understood. Now, I am trying to figure out a way out of this: I would like to have a better solution for hiding the last\_seen\_at than to re-include the whole user/user.hbs in a user script just to drop the `model.last_seen_at` line (if viewed by an anonymous user). Since `last_seen_at` is a property of the model object which I cannot really overwrite - I do not really see another way out, does anybody else?

That’s the solution I’d use. Granted, I’d be thinking about other tweaks and edits I’d want to do in the future and would figure that I may as well start now.

(Posting to say this has been requested before; I fully support this option to be in core.)

You can now use the “`hide_user_profiles_from_public`” site setting 🍇
