Sometimes when I’m not logged in I’ll see the “online” icon next to my avatar. Anyone else see that?
Question Does anyone ever see the “online” icon when they’re not logged in?

Lol out of curiosity, why does it matter?

I haven't seen that, so I tested it just now. Here are the steps I took:
1. Verify that Privacy --> "Show your online status" is enabled.
2. Verify that the online indicator appears for a post.
3. Log out.
4. Refresh the page in Step 2.
5. Observe that the online indicator no longer appears.
Seems to be working as expected for me. Can you give more details on how to reproduce what you're observing?

Because I want to make sure someone isn’t logged in when I’m logged out

I don’t know. I was just surfing while logged out and saw the icon on my avatar.

I bet if you had refreshed/reloaded the page, the icon would disappear. If the page was originally loaded while you were still logged in, I don't think it necessarily updates in real-time to show that you're now logged out.
Probably ensure your SDN password is a strong password/passphrase that is unique to SDN (not used anywhere else) and enable the "Two-step verification."
