When you are signed out/don't have an acc, maybe make it so you can't view real players/forums & stuff? I feel like it may give away a bit of the surprise of playing.
Maybe a way to be it look like you are offline?
a way to take someones name out from your search bar? like that thing on the side to search of users.
Not sure, just a few thoughts

I'd definitely love a way to change my "currently online" status manually, considering I'm almost never here when it says that and just have it open in a tab. Something like how on Discord, you can change from currently online, to idle, to do not disturb, and now they've got custom ones too I think

Yea, and also invisible which I think would be nice. Since I normally have a tab open but am not playing.

I would say no support for the first point. If a potential player can't see people's stables/pets or the forums, there's a better chance of them skipping being a new player of Sylestia (can't see if they like pets based on seeing others'/can't see what the community is like before joining). However, my real issue with this idea is not being able to see things when not logged in. There have been times where something has happened with Sylestia logins where we have been logged out and not able to log back in for hours, but it doesn't affect all players. In these instances, I have been able to view the forums and see that the issue has been reported to Krin and he is working on fixing it, without flooding his email about the issue. Also, I'm using the 'okay IP' option on Sylestia for logins. If I just want to look and see if there were any replies to a thread I created while on the move, I would have to either switch my preferences to okaying my device, or okay another IP to view said forum, rather than just looking at it offline and noting that there were replies I needed to respond to later (or other threads of note that I should reply to). So yeah... long winded explanation as to why that first point is a no for me XD
For the online status.... sure? I mean, I've used appear offline in the chat bar and on other online chats in the past, so I can see where it might be convenient? Not a big deal to me, though. I just assume that if I say something to someone 'online' and they don't respond or view my message that they're not really there lol.
For the last point... I'm not sure what's being suggested? I've never had anyone's name in my search bar lol. Unless you mean the autocomplete drop down of suggestions that your browser has cached? If so, I think that's a clearing your cache thing, not a Sylestia thing. If it's something else you mean, I think I need more explanation XD

The search thing under the home button, since mine is really flooded with random names I searched up, I would like to be able to delete some

As miku said, that last is your browser keeping that info and not sylestia. I doubt that sylestia can do anything about it.
I can't think of the right option now, but don't think it is autofill, but it might be. Let me look around at Firefox's options and see what I can find.
As for 1, I have to say no support, because looking around at random pages is something new players do to see if they like the site. I have seen sites where you could only get to the first page, and it is really frustrating to try to determine if you like the site, or find out things like 'do pets die' when the site doesn't explicitly state it, or have a FAQ about things like that. But randomly searching the forums to read what is said, or look at player guides, or viewing various pet pages helps with that.
As for being able to manually set your status, honestly, I feel more and more that I would rather just NOT have online status at all, so having the ability to say 'offline' would be great.

I have the feeling, for firefox at least, it is part of the 'history' that firefox saves. Sadly, I can't clear 'form' history and save browser history it seems :P
Okay, for me, while I might not be able to clear old form data without removing browsing history (maybe...) if you go to your browser's options, there shoudl be a privacy and security tab, and in that area a 'History' area. Mine was set to 'remember all history' but I set it to use custom settings and was able to tell it to NOT save search and form history
