Is there a way to hide the public Admin Status (invisible mode)?

And after you let someone work on your site using your spare Maste Admin profile, you can change its password to lock them out when they're done.

Another thought would be to simply create an additional Master Admin profile/user with a generic member name, and log in under that profile when working on the site while wanting to appear offline with your recognized ID. It's always good to have a spare Master Admin account anyway, in case you want someone to help you fix your site at some point but don't want them to have access to your private stuff and messages etc.

Odd behavior when using # sign in comments and posts...
Using Jamroom
Awesome! I had a feeling it might be just something I'm not familiar with...I don't do twitter or FB etc.
I'll go disable it now- THANKS! :D
Odd behavior when using # sign in comments and posts...
Using Jamroom
Let me see if this happens to me when logged in as a regular user on my site....BRB.
Ok, interesting:
when logged in as a regular member (named "The Member", lol)
I went to a Forum thread and posted merely : #194, #122, #2339
and all three became hotlinks to:
http://fotmd.com/the-member/timeline/search/ss=%23194
http://fotmd.com/the-member/timeline/search/ss=%23122
and http://fotmd.com/the-member/timeline/search/ss=%232339
So this innocent use of the character # makes hotlinks to the profile activity feed page of whoever 'owns' the content where the post is being made...or something like that.
Is this supposed to do this?

Using Jamroom
My moderator just discovered when he posted the number of some random podcast in a forum post using the # sign directly before, it becomes a hotlink to MY profile Activity feed page.
I looked at the comment code and it's merely:
<p>test post #194</p>(note the 194 at end of both items)
I tested this myself in both a comment on my profile page, and in a group discussion post, also in a forum discussion post....all same results.
Always linking either to MY profile activity feed page, or if the post was made in my Forums, then it links to the page activity feed of my "Forums" profile which owns my site forums.
The links show in the browser when hoverin gover them, but if I go to CODE view in the text editor, no link codes appear.
Super weird!
Hmm...what happens if I type #194 here...? Edit: nothing.

How to limit LENGTH of gallery names & Image names?
Using Jamroom
Done and done and done! :D
Michael and Paul- I have learned SO MUCH from this discussion, I'm so THRILLED.
FIRST: I've finally learned to find and work with more of the form designers in my site. This has been a mystery that I've awkwardly stumbled my way through for a long time.
Once I opened and modified the Gallery title form designer to limit gallery names to a certain maximum length (in both 'create' and in 'update') as Michael laid out for me above,
I didn't stop there.
The light bulb came on in my head, and I proceeded to go into many form designers all over my site to limit the LENGTH members can type in for: new Image titles, for Youtube and Vimeo video titles, for Soundcloud and audio clip titles, for new Group Discussions, for new Forum discussions, for Event titles, for new Group names, and even for new member profile names!
At last- no more members with names like: Dr. Eugene F. EagleEye Merryweather Jr. Seriously annoying! Oh Boy can't believe I didn't catch onto this at least six months ago. But hey, I guess my brain wasn't yet ready for the revelation back then. ("You can't HANDLE the truth!" lol)
and as if that weren't enough....
SECOND: the Truncate thing. Went in my active skin's jrGallery_index.tpl and applied Paul's suggestion above and I saw how it worked nicely for the gallery titles on my site's /gallery index page grid of all member photos. Soooo... I went further still on my /Gallery index page and applied the truncate also to the Image titles (in addition to the gallery titles) AND to the member profile links as well under each thumbnail. now they all take up reasonable amounts of space before ending in "..." and their links still work great.
"Dr. Eugene F. EagleEye Merryweather Jr." s hotlink name no longer takes up 3 damn lines under each of his gallery thumbnail images adding unwanted giant spaces all over the page because he's a Name Hog-- instead he's now "Dr. Eugene F. Eag..." but the link to his profile still works fine. Hah!
So-
1) I've learned a TON about using the form designers....
2) AND about putting reasonable length limits on input names and labels from my members-- ALL OVER my site for all kinds of items.
3) PLUS I was able to truncate three different text/link items on my Gallery index page and make that page look way neater,
...which was the actual modest goal I had when starting this thread. :D
But it became so much more and really helped me move an important step forward in editing and modifying my site.
Thanks to the JR Team for your patient and good natured help on this forum. It does actually have a productive result, way more often than you know!

"My Posts" isn't really my posts.
Using Jamroom
Sorry to repeat, but-
Is there a way that on my site, I can make the link for the TAB "My posts" (like you see at the top of this page) take the member to the very SAME list (of their own posts) that they would get if clicking on the total post number under their own avatar in a forum (as seen under their avatar to the left of their forum posts) ?
add dates to the Recycle bin?
Suggestions
It's up and working now with the new Core updates-
Having the date of deletion in the recycle bin is VERY helpful- thanks so much!
