Hiding your Profile name in Public place ?

I remember LoyceV saying that he uses Loyce mobile while on transit or so, that also shows that you  can have the need to use the forum in the public place.

In LoyceV's case, I believe the user talked about people not contacting them on the moniker that's strictly for when they're on the move because it's not as secured as the main account. We aren't taking about security of account here but privacy.

I ain't against opening this site when in public space. I use the phone version of this site. I access it on the go all the time but it's no big deal for me hiding it. In fact, no one would even know I'm accessing it while I'm in their midst. I open the site and scroll up or zoom in immediately to hide the "Hello Mpamaegbu" part if I'm in a crowded space. Otherwise, I just do my stuff unnoticed. Except you draw attention, most people would think you're just on any regular site and not one dedicated to cryptos.

That's what I do in public as well. That thing sticks out like a sore thumb

The script is not bad but it will only be helpful for those who use this forum secretly and don't want to reveal their forum name to anyone around. But I don't think anyone uses this forum secretly and I don't use it secretly from anyone. I have many friends who use this forum know my username. so I don't have a problem even if I don't use this script. It should be used by satoshi and it will be good for him because he is anonymous and wants to be for the rest of his life he he

So far I haven't had any problems with the forum display - although I will always read "Hello _BlackStar" at border. My forum looks like this - so I don't see too much things at the padding. You can also hide it by simply pressing the button to the right of the forum clock and date in the padding section, so you no longer see that section.




Unfortunately - it doesn't work when I jump to another page.

Does it really make any difference?
And why hiding their profile in public places btw, how do they hold their smartphones for someone else to look through inside and see what they are doing and their username publicly displayed to everyone.
Whenever i am out, I do not operate in this forum or trying to reply some comments over here except i have a secure place to seat and browse the forum comfortably before i could. Otherwise, our part of my country where you operate phone in the public they would attack you for either being a fraudster. So, the best is i do not operate my phone in public and there's no need to hide profile.

It only solves the privacy risk for those of you who use the forum in public places such as public transportation; I don't think hiding your forum username serves any security purpose; the script is just for fun. I was hoping the script would be able to hide one's identity from an old thread but it does not work that way. I've learned not to browse the forum outside of my work space and I don't even access it on my phone anymore, so I don't think I'd need such a script.

Yeah, this my point.

Wow, a useful thread came across while exploring (Hide my name). I would like to thank the OP and whoever created those useful scripts. I have also felt uneasy many times because of my name coming out in public places while browsing the forum.

This is a good idea and we can think about going anonymous to an extent while engaging in some things on the forum whereby when someone make a post you wouldn't have the opportunity of knowing who made it, I've also come to think of it the same way when i once saw a thread that suggest not seing the person that merited you, though many kicked against it because of possible abuse in doing such, but as for this case also, when you make a post under anonymous mode and someone needs to quote you, how will it be traced to you being the OP among other features happening on the forum which may requires the mention of ones name when.

I've said both: don't trust my Mobile, and I don't like that "anyone" can see my username in big font when I'm "in public".

I guess a much easier (hardware) solution would be to use a privacy screen protector. The downside is that it destroys the viewing angle of your device.

Instead of just hiding my username and leaving blank space I would much rather like to see using randomly generated characters (as my username) each time I use bitcointalk forum.
I guess this would be trivial modification for TryNinja, so instead of being theymos I could for example be renamed to something like this: s71(qQ]MCn4VZ2zCVhg]}YZwp.
Advantage is that it's hard for anyone to remember and repeat this randomly generated characters.

Code:

document.querySelector("tr.titlebg > td").style.visibility = "hidden";
document.querySelector("td.windowbg > table > tbody > tr > td:nth-child(2) ").style.visibility = "hidden";  

I didn’t check because my PC is bricked (sadly ), but I feel like this may end up removing stuff it shouldn’t in some cases (i.e when there is a table in the post), so be careful.

Oh yeah, that's what i didn't check yet. I will try to check different threads later today. But as for my knowledge as long as the selector is directing/targeting from the specific class to its attribute/element/children, it's fine, but we will see.
