Yep.

But agree, it's stupid you can check a box to hide your online status, and it's perfectly hidden one page 1, but fully blown shown on page 2. And that's beside the bug of the online indicator.

There are valid reasons to why to hide the online status, if there was no valid reason, the option wouldn't be in there for like, as long as I can remember.
