    Just wondering.. With the old VB version of DP a user had a "Green" light if they were currently online.. I know now that a users profile / profile popup displays "Last see here @ 10:10am" I am not sure if it can be done or not but to add a extra field to a users profile showing if they were online or not i think would be a handy little inclusion.

    Maybe there is a way of telling and ive just not seen it yet.. As ive mentioned i am new to XF as i wasn't sure if XF was going under or would be continuing development.. Now XF is moving forward i will start focusing on XF and maybe this could be my first mod (if there isn't already one).

    Regards, Darren

    I've thought about it before (I think there's another thread on the topic already)... no plans to add it since I really don't see any added value to it. When it comes down to it, what purpose does it serve? Are you going to not reply to someone if they aren't online, or?

    No it's just sometimes you apply / pm someone regarding some custom work or a task they are wanting done.. It would be handy to know if they were still online so that they could reply straight away so people could discuss the job details etc..

    Again it's nothing major, but i did find that to be handy at times.

    Yeah, but you can always see if someone is online if you really want to know by clicking on their avatar (you don't even need to go to their profile). Personally, I'd rather not clutter things more than they already are... like some people want "Registration Date" added to the stats under their avatar on every post... at some point it just becomes clutter.
