How to change your Facebook online status?

Hiding yourself on Facebook

Is it possible to hide your online presence on Facebook?

Question:

Judy asks: I am trying to change my online status on facebook – I tried to go into Privacy, then my online status and it always worked before but now, for some reason the online status bar is gone and I can’t change it – help please? thanx

Answer:

Thanks for your question, Judy. After incorporating the new chat functionality, Facebook has slightly modified the process for hiding your online presence. Details can be found in this post i wrote a few months ago.
