How to adjust the visibility of one's last activity?

In summary, there is an option for members to hide their "last seen" activity information from other members. This can be adjusted by upgrading to a gold membership or by changing the display setting in the account upgrades section. It's possible that some non-gold members may have had their settings carried over from a previous gold membership. It is also worth noting that having multiple accounts on PF is against the rules.

Some members have their last activity information hidden to other members (it's the "xxx was last seen:" information in the box which pops up when you click on someone's name). How can I adjust this setting?

But I have seen some non-gold members have their "last seen" activity hidden and some other let it visible.

They might have switched it in the past, settings stay as they are at the end of gold membership.

Actually I have another account in this forum and people can't see what I was just doing. It's not a gold membership and I don't remember setting anything during the account registration to make my "last seen" info invisible. On the other hand, this very account I use to post this thread let anyone see where I was last seen.

A note to anyone stumbling on this thread: PF rules only allow one account per person.
