It's a shame you can't just say "Yes, box is checked. No, don't display it."

Yeah, that would be great. But then there'd be no function to activate/deactivate. Computers are preposterously stupid. The old anonymizer was over a decade old, I think. If forum software has evolved along the same curve as the POS and OPs systems I'm used to, then everything has gotten easier but also less specific. You used to need a degree to program the old restaurant POSs but they could do anything you wanted, albeit in a very complicated, not user-friendly way. My 8 year old niece could program the modern ones, but ask it to do anything beyond the yes/no binary functions of its framework? Oogatz.

(not sure if I've mentioned it in the new joint yet, but oogatz is Italian-American slang for "nothing")

Do you want to hide that anonymizer tickbox? There might be a way to do that without affecting how it functions. I'll PM you the details to not clog the thread.

Yeah, man. Do that Yoda shit.

Let's hope not. I wish there was a way to lock it, but there isn't. The software is very simple and user-friendly, which giveth and taketh away. The logic is very straightforward, with everything being "yes, do this" or "no, don't do this." In this case, "yes, default box checked" or "no, default box not checked." But then the humans take over. In my experience building POS systems, any button than can be pushed will be pushed. It is what it is.

I once built a big red button labelled "Do not press this button" into a billing/CRM system just to see who would be the first person to press it. It was, indeed, the person we thought it would be.

[ps102]

Yep, it works...

It was never turned off, was it? I only turned it off for myself to test it out. I can't make changes to the site itself! I'm just a regular old member as my banner shows.

 

[Naomasa298]

It appears to be off for me by default, at least in this thread.

 

[Louanne Learning]

Yes, now it is off, but the option still appears
