Lot of members would like to browse the site without showing they are online, to prevent unwanted contacts by other online members.

As webmasters, I think it's not good to do this, but my users have reason and their privacy has to be respected.
These feature is a must in all sites and lot of people appreciate them very much.

>>> Request: adding a button to let members hide/unhide their online status with just a click.
(If you will add it, consider to provide a variable to check if users choosed to be hidden or not and to use it for third party integration as video chats, messengers, etc.).

Note: (This "should" be an additional feature for some memberships. Anyway, it's absolutely needed).

Vlad, in my previous similar post you answered me that I can already do that in the lower right corner by clicking 'online/invisible' links.
So, I asked you to close the topic, but I thought you was talking about something new in v2.6.0 (I still use 2.5.6) and didn't understand you was talking about the links that appear into the built in chat.
Well I have to open again this topic, because those links are unavailable for people that don't activate the chat on their sites or use another chat, so members cannot hide their online status.
