</div>

in preferences, there is one setting for  
“Hide my public profile and presence features”

if turn it on, will have user’s profile not accessible to other users, and also hide online status (in chat), seems it is better to separate these 2. say, I want to others to check my public profile info, but 'd like to hide my online status… seems this makes sense ?

thanks…
