In other words I should not be able to view any information about users who have hidden their computers... otherwise what\'s the point?

At least that\'s the way it works in SETI...

Thanx

I don't understand the point of hiding your computers to begin with.

It's not like any of the publicly available info listed there is of any use to someone with malicious activity in mind...

well I think trickle info is interesting, and certainly result info (i.e. your chart of finished run) is of interest and not "compromising." We will just suppress showing hostid/computer info on these pages. I think "Latest Trickles" are nice to show just so people can see if a user is still active, or if they're a hacker if they have a million cobblestones credit but nothing ever trickled! ;-)
to be consistent they should all be "hidden" now though.

Thank you for the prompt solution...( just not use to that quick of a resolution compare to SETI...will have rethink where I deploy my humble resources!)
