Why are all signups and logins showing in Timeline for the site?

At mysite/timeline, all signups and logins are showing (when I view this page as Admin).

My Timeline quota settings for the one and only signup quota are:

Allowed on profile (yes)
Item approval (no approval needed)
Can post activity updates (yes)
Add to Timeline Option (no)
Show on item detail pages (yes)

The add to timeline option help note explains

"If this option is checked, an "Add To Timeline" checkbox will appear in create/update forms that will allow the user to decide if they want their action added to their timeline. If this is unchecked, then all actions will be recorded to the Timeline. "

At the signup stage, I don't want anything about the timeline to appear on a form that users see. It seems I either have to give them an option, or allow all actions to be recorded to Timeline. There doesn't seem to be any control for which forms it will appear on, nor to "show no option and show no actions".

I will switch this back to the default (which presumably gives the option on all forms, regardless of whether or not it is needed for a particular form).

After switching back to default (for add to timeline option) I reset caches, but the recent signups and logins are still visible on the site timeline.

I'm not seeing login and signup events being recorded to my development system.

Anyhow, if you are the output for the actions to the timeline is controlled by the same as all the other list building systems {jrCore_list}.

Docs: "jrCore_list"
https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/documentation/module-developer-guide/89/jrcore-list

so you can filter out what you dont want in any location. The template that controls the activity list on the persons profile is the item_index.tpl file for the jrAction module.

Check your skin for an jrAction_item_index.tpl file first, if its not there then use another method to override the modules template.

Docs: "Altering a modules template"
https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/documentation/module-developer-guide/1051/altering-a-modules-template

PJ, do you have the little checkbox CHECKED for "delete timeline entries'... in your Timeline Module's/Global Config/General tab?

Also, sometimes a timeline will be a snapshot in time of something that happened, but items showing in the timeline may not reflect newer changes. (especially if the items were not actually deleted)
Try just deleting those unwanted past items from the timeline, and then wait to see if your changes are preventing new unwanted items from showing there that your changes are trying to prevent. A handy place to quickly view/edit/delete existing timeline entries from the Dashboard is: yoursite.com/timeline/dashboard/browser
