Invisible mode setting has become invisible?

I have noticed that the option of being invisible has disappeared in my "Login & Privacy" settings. Has this option gone or is it just me that can't find it?

Yes, the option appears to be gone and the previously-set 'invisibility' settings are being ignored!

You are absolutely right. It's gone!

Some (faulty) fix must have been implemented this week. "Invisible" was still an option last week.

Yes, I did see that.

Is it permanently removed or another bug?

Going by the Mods response it would seem to be permanent to me.

I do wish they would notify us of these changes although it comes as no surprise that they don't.

Considering all I did was answer the question as asked... do not assume I was making any "funny" comment.

I am invisible again....the option is back. ^

Now I an being informed "Hello HIDDY. We couldn't help but notice you haven't posted in awhile and wanted to take this opportunity to encourage you to join in the discussions. If you haven't seen anything that has tempted you to post recently, consider heading over to the TravelBuzz! forum ... there is always something interesting/strange/fun being discussed there".

One has to laugh.

Still not seeing it....

That's where I checked in the morning but it wasn't there. It still isn't.

That's why I asked if that's another bug or something.

This option is no longer available to me.

For those of you who can still see it, are you a Premium FTer?

Since I am not and can no longer see the invisible mode, I assume this option has become another FT Premium privilege, just like the 2500 PM allowance. Non-Premium FTers don't have privacy privilege no more. Am I correct?

Or it is simply one more bug from IBB as part of the 4/9/09 "improvements?"

ETA:
The "invisible" option, IIRC, used to be under "Login & Privacy" section under "Edit Options."

Now I only see "Allow vCard Download" in my "Login & Privacy."

That's what happened to me and I don't have status with FT.......It'll come back for you sometime soon hopefully.

It' still there for me and I don't have any status

I'm also currently using invisible. Maybe only those who use it can still see it.
