Fancy, I was appalled when I heard this. Somebody apparently thought it was no big deal, but it was offensive to you. Based on your experience, I've restricted access to the detailed "who's online" info to myself (as admin) and the Team Leaders.

Everyone still can see where people are in the site, and who is viewing a given topic, but if someone is viewing a user profile, all they will see is "Viewing user profile" with no specific information of whose profile.

It's necessary to allow the Team Leaders and the administrator (myself) access to this information in the rare occassion where someone is maliciously trying to harm the site. If there is ever a problem with a Team Leader misusing this information, please let me know.

On behalf of the entire staff of BigBlueBall, I apologize for making you feel uncomfortable, and I hope that this change resolves your concern.
