Is that a bug? I remember it was working properly before.

I think only administrators with full access to the server can confirm or deny that.
In any case, other "strange" things are that this forum doesn't keep the session "forever" if I check the "Remember me"/"Log-in automatically on each visit", or if the
sid variable is removed from the URL, or if I switch from
f.osdev.org to
forum.osdev.org.
I have a small phpBB3 forum with SQLite3, and it does keep the session forever (although, being SQLite3, it would re-initialize my session, effectively logging me out on every, extremely frequent "database is locked" error; so I had to figure out some phpBB 3.0.11 modifications to
session.php which were very difficult for me to achieve at first).
I remember having problems with duplicated guest/logged-in user for my IP in my forum, and I haven't tested hiding my online status (I never do).
But in short, it could be a "bug", or some minor phpBB modification that purposely or accidentally disables permanent log-in and online status hiding.
Only administrators could really say why or why not.
