Hi all, have a quick question. It seems as though no matter what i do i can't hide the list of members in my group. Most of the members are in the default 'everyone' role and the check box for "members are visible" is unchecked yet all the members in that role are still visible. Anything I'm missing here about how that should work? i just want to hide some of the member names. Thanks.

Guessing here but are you the owner? If so, hiding your list wouldn't be a lot of point would it? .. meaning, I think you'll find you're hiding your members lists so they can't see each other maybe?

Thanks for replying. i am the owner but i have an alt that i added as an 'everyone' role and it can see the entire list too. stumped here if it's possible. my objective is to add a couple members that don't want to be on the main member list. can't see how to do that if the 'everyone' role always shows up on the list.

Hiding members hides them from anyone that isn't a member of the group, there is no way to hide who else is in the group from anyone who is in the group.

The alt is a good idea Anthony. I'm stumped I'm afraid. I can't even vaguely remember this coming up since I've started hovering the forum. If you go into role creation, is there anything that suggests anonymity?

From: Kitty Barnett Hiding members hides them from anyone that isn't a member of the group, there is no way to hide who else is in the group from anyone who is in the group. Another one for the open source wishlist then? After all, how many RL group members have access to the full register?

Even if it was possible, it would only give a false sense of security because the full list would still be sent over, the client would just only selectively display members and the servers are bogged down with load enough as it is to do it server-side  . Even if it was server-side, all it would take is a group IM and watch who all leaves the session.
