SVC-241 Meta-issue: Improved In-world Privacy

Description

« Hide

This involves notifications/status indicators for "Friends" when you uncheck "Friends can see you when you're online".

A friend that you've unchecked this for should not see that you are "Currently Online" when looking at your profile. However, this issue is kind of resolved when you check "Make my online status visible only to my Friends and Groups". Now that I think about it, if you've unchecked "Friends can see you" for a friend that is in a group with you, this also show you offline (ideally anyway).

In addition, when one of the friends that you've unchecked this for IM's you, they do not see the: "Second Life: User not online - message will be stored and delivered later." message - indicating that you actually are online but are hiding.

In essence, when someone who is in your Friends list has the "Friends can see you when you're online" box unchecked, there are portions of the interface that fail to fully "hide" your status. Tested: IM as above (whether or not you've indicated "Make my online status ... ") and Profile "Currently online" notice (shows online with "Make my online status ... " unchecked, goes away when checked).

Note that I was the "shunned friend" in this - my "hiding friend" was using an XP machine.

This issue was resolved as "Needs More Info" during a batch clean-up of PJIRA issues.

Reason: for an extended length of time, this bug seems to be missing enough details (reproducible steps) for Linden Lab to import the bug and investigate. Also the last affected version of the viewer on this report is viewer 1.21 or 1.20, 1.19, or even earlier, which are versions that are no longer actively supported.

It is possible that this bug is indeed valid and should remain open-- however, Linden Lab needs the following pieces of information before it is Reopened:

To reopen, please do all of the following:

(1) It is very important to confirm that this bug still occurs in the latest official version 1.23. Please upgrade to that version by browsing to http://get.secondlife.com , and test if you can still reproduce the bug using Viewer 1.23.

(2) If so, then please Reopen this issue and BE SURE to choose the "Affects Version/s" = 1.23

(3) Also, re-describe the steps that another person can follow to experience this bug. An example of a good "recipe" for a bug report can be found here: https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Issue_tracker#Guidelines_for_a_bug_report

(4) Come and attend the inworld bug triages, where you can meet with Linden Lab employees to consider, verify, and expedite bugs for fixing. For more information, see http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Bug_triage

Thank you for helping us improve Second Life!
