FamilySearch

( Specifically: @Mark McLemore - NOT so 'wonderful' ...)

Question:

AGAIN: WHY do WE have to KEEP "Resetting" OUR "Settings"; in particular, "Preferences", and, specifically, "On-Line Preferences" [ie. (aka) Who's Online], in this "Community.FamilySearch" Forum?

Mark

You should NOT, have CLOSED, that "Idea", that I raised, on "18 May 2021" ...

IF, you can; THEN, can you Please REOPEN that former "Idea", of mine; so that, when it happens, EACH TIME (and, as, it looks like it will continue to happen), I can advise on that post/thread ...

I DO NOT want to have to keep raising a NEW "Idea" ...

WHY do WE have to KEEP Resetting Our SETTINGS eg -> Preferences -> OnLine Preferences, in the Forum

FYI

It was just FINE yesterday ...

NOW, this morning, I 'see', that I was 'On-Line' once AGAIN ...

I had done NOTHING to "Change" My 'Status' from "Hide my online status from other members" ...

Once AGAIN ...

There was NO ('Regular') "Weekly" Update/Release ...

I would DEFINITELY humbly suggest that, this has occurred as the RESULT of an (ie. some) ad-hoc, "In-Line". Update/Release, by a 'Programmer' ...

It is NOW, the Morning of Friday, 17 June 2021.

It was just FINE, all day yesterday, Thursday, 16 June 2021.

[ I KNOW; as, I have been checking up on it ... ]

After 'seeing' that I was 'On-Line' this Morning ...

I "Checked" the 'Status' of My "Online Preferences"; somehow, UNCHECKED, once AGAIN ... this is NOT right/good ... 

'Thank You' in advance.

Submitted for your IMMEDIATE, information; attention; and, consideration.

Kind Regards.

MAY THE LORD BLESS YOU IN THIS IMPORTANT WORK

Yours Faithfully,

Brett

☹️

ps: I have (once again) gone and "Checked", My "Online Preferences", to "Hide my online status from other members" ...

    Mark

    Like last time ...

    Again ...

    So far, so good ...

    Well, at least for now ...

    I checked, just BEFORE; and, just AFTER, the ... 20 / 21 June 2021 ... 'Mountain Time'

    Weekly 'Update' / Release' in 'FamilySearch' of Sunday 'Night' / Monday 'Morning' ( 'Mountain Time' )

    [ ie. Monday AFTERNOON, 21 June 3021, at 16:00 Hours/4pm, My LOCAL 'Time' ... ]

    All GOOD.

    Stayed as "Step" ... ie. "Hide my online status from other members" ...

    Sure seems that is it NOT that Weekly 'Update' / Release' in 'FamilySearch' ...

    [ As, it was O.K. last time too ... ]

    This time ... lets wait and 'see' ...

    I will keep checking; and, advise if I notice anything untoward ...

    Mark

    'Yes' ... I was too premature ...

    FYI

    It happened AGAIN, (ie. NO LONGER "Hidden" ... I saw that I was there in "Who's Online in this Category" )

    [ Checked my "Online Preferences"; somehow, UNCHECKED, again ... this is NOT right/good ... ]

    It is NOW, the Morning of Tuesday, 22 June 2021.

    It was just FINE, all day yesterday, Monday, 21 June 2021, AFTER the Weekly 'Update' / Release' in 'FamilySearch' ...

    I will "Change" My "Online Preferences" BACK to "Hide my online status from other members", AGAIN ...

    This is becoming a nuisance ...

    WHAT is CASUING such to happen?

    'Thank You' in advance.

    Submitted for your IMMEDIATE, information; attention; and, consideration.

    Kind Regards.

    Mark

    FYI

    It JUST happened AGAIN,

    ie. NO LONGER "Hidden" ... I saw that I was there in "Who's Online in this Category"

    It is NOW, the Morning of Wednesday, 23 June 2021 ( My 'Local' Time ) - the Day AFTER ...

    I just saw that I was "On-Line" ... when I should NOT have been ...

    I then checked My "Online Preferences"; somehow, UNCHECKED, again ... getting somewhat 'monotonous' ...

    Yesterday, Tuesday, 22 June 2021, I "Changed" My "Online Preferences" BACK to "Hide my online status from other members", AGAIN ...

    And, I DID NOT "Un-Check" and "Save" My "Online Preferences" ...

    I, have yet AGAIN, "Changed" My "Online Preferences" BACK to "Hide my online status from other members".

    Definitely becoming a nuisance ...

    WHAT is CASUING such to happen?

    As an aside ...

    ALSO ...

    Although, I have (and, use) that Feature/Function/Facility of "Keep me signed in for 2 weeks" activated ...

    This morning [ Wednesday, 23 June 2021 ( My 'Local' Time ) ] ...

    I was NOT only required to "Sign In" with my "User Name" and "Password" in 'FamilySearch' ...

    But, I was ALSO required to "Sign In" into the "Community.FamilySearch" Forum ...

    I should NOT have had to do so in the "Community.FamilySearch" Forum, for some time ...

    SOMETHING "Major" (ie. "In-Line") was afoot ... to have caused the aforementioned ...

    Just saying ...

    'Thank You' in advance.

    Submitted for your IMMEDIATE, information; attention; and, consideration.

    Kind Regards.

    'Yes' ...

    Certainly ...

    I would prefer to keep that ORGINAL 'Post', of mine, on the matter, going; and active.
