Appreciate the feedback from any number of members here and there were certainly some points that as noted, had not come out from previously posted threads on the topic. That's a positive reason why I have a forum for Only Randy Petersen and why I have and do try to see and read other issues elsewhere on FlyerTalk.
Anyway, I really had no particular ownership in this issue, rather as we do with many things, try to balance the various needs of many different groups of members and as such, have just instructed the tech on the admin side of things to revert and make the invisible mode available again for all members. Some of you may have to log out and log back in but within a few minutes of this post, things should be back to normal for this particular issue. As with other items, I always welcome reasonable feedback to the topic on hand and it can make a difference.
Thanks and we'll see you online.
NOTE: For those that for whatever reason thought that there was some sort of purposeful attempt to treat various members differently than others regarding this -- land the black helicopter and take off the single vision helmet and maybe, just maybe consider that the issue was more related to the very real tech problems that plagued FlyerTalk lately. Last night FT was closed for a few hours as several maintenance issues were being addressed by Internet Brands and it seems that many (perhaps not all) of the tech issues -- including Search have been corrected or at least leave us in much better working condition than over the past few days. Just a thought!
