How to re-enable 'recent visitors'?

[Threadfin]

Mistakenly, I clicked the hide button where it shows recent visitors on my profile, and cannot work it out to re-enable it. Anyone know how?

Your Recent Visitors are visible to me... have you fixed it now?

[Threadfin]

No, it's not visible to me. If you click the little icon above it, it is no longer viewable. And I can see no way to re-enable it through options, settings or anything. I googled it for this version of vbulletin, but no luck.

This link has instructions, but perhaps it's for admins only?

When you click on it and it disappears it leaves a little white 'x' behind. Clicking on the 'x' brings it back, at least for me.

No white 'x' for me on FireFox. I think the white 'x' simply means that the image for the expand button is missing.

I'm using Firefox. So I logged in with Internet Explorer and the recent visitors is visible, but not so on Firefox.

You know how when you have multiple windows open you sometimes need to click on one to 'grab' it and be able to scroll that page again? That's what I did, but just happened to place my cursor over the hide button and now can't get it back. Not a big deal in the grand scheme of things, but I'd like to re-enable it if I can.

Firefox doesn't show broken images like other browsers do.

But it is indeed a case of broken image, screencap using Chrome:

Certainly working with Chrome.

Well I think that the visitors panel is an interesting and useful thing. I like finding out about other members, so if one of them has looked in on me then I am most likely soon going to be sniffing and rummaging about in their personal stuff as well.

I can still see yours, btw

I've certainly left my fingerprints in quite a good few

FYI, the icon is still broken when using SmartDark.

I'm using Firefox and have SmartDark here, and everything looks normal - always has. (including 4/1/2017 : )

The problem is when you press the icon on the top right there to collapse the tab. The icon to then expand it back is broken, and because Firefox doesn't show placeholders for broken images, the tab can't be expanded back.
