Topic: Hiding your Profile name in Public place ? - page 2. (Read 315 times)
It's a welcomed command but I don't see any difference as someone who is hiding from being online, you know on your profile you can set to online and offline while you are active on the forum no one else would know except you changes your status to online before anyone out there would noticed your are active. Then lastly this has also defeated the signature avatar since no one can see your name and avatar. I don't know if others already said this or noticed it.
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.
Buddy I also don't have any problem with forum display actually I didn't mean that 
sometime when I was on the outside of home and browsing forum I have to maintain the security to hide my identity then I need to hide my forum name for not to be noticed by someone . And that is what these scripts do .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.
In this script, only the above name and avatar can be hidden, but when entering the profile summary, it shows the user name, so another request to you guys is to create a script that hides the name in the profile summary as well.
The main purpose of the script is to hide the username and avatar which are displayed all the time when browsing and not the profile summary 
Let's be honest, how many times do you check out your profile summary each time you're browsing. Personally, I sometimes take a number of days. Maybe that's why it wasn't considered. Maybe some coding geek can modify the script, but IMO, I don't think it's necessary/big deal.

And that is what these scripts do .You will need a userscript browser extension, such as Tampermonkey or Greasemonkey. You can find them in the official chrome web store or mozilla firefox extensions depending on which browser you use.
Or you can create your own extension, as described here:

I wanna add a little bit more for mobile users. Or you can create your own extension, as described here:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.50536316
For mobile users they can download Kiwi browser from play store which have the features to add desktop extension on mobile, after that add Tampermonkey on the kiwi then copy those codes and click to tampermonkey and then tap on create a new extension and paste those codes and save the script.
All done .
Can you provide a little tutorial on how to use the script? I doubt that everyone that will view your thread wll know how to run the code since it is not like your normal browser plugin that all you have to do is download it and watch it do the trick for ya.

Thanks.
Thanks.
This will really be nice if this can be made possible, because there are lots of times when I am using my PC in front of people, and I really don't want them to know about my details on the forum.

I guess there is no need to drop how to use the scrip since the scrip is no longer working for its purpose, according to the OP.
But if you really want to learn how to do it and insert the script into your browser, just follow the link dropped by the OP; there are different directions on how to do it, regardless of which browser you are using.

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

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. And now it will not happen again by using this script.
But one new request to you guys, In this script, only the above name and avatar can be hidden, but when entering the profile summary, it shows the user name, so another request to you guys is to create a script that hides the name in the profile summary as well.
Thanks.
