I'm guessing this is a bug because would find it hard to believe that this is a coincidence...

My register page defaults to NO for "Hide from Who's Online?" yet it seems new registrants all have "Visible in Who's Online?" unchecked in their profiles.

Case in point is I created an account this morning for my web host to use to troubleshoot a bad problem, and highly doubt they would've gone into preference and all that to make some test posts.

Anyone else notice this?

All of our registered test subjects are checked by default to show in the who's online box.
