Add Online Status Indicator to Profile Page and Member Card

[Amaury]

As title.

I think it'd be incredibly useful there as well.

All joking aside, it probably would be more consistent if the "little green dog" showed up in a number of places if someone is online (and, of course, make it easier for your stalkers to see if you'll get that profile message/Conversation faster )

Clearly it's already in threads


It should probably show up on Membercards


And on Profile Pages too

I agree with you, I suggest you create a suggestion (which I argue)

What about your mini avatar on Mike's profile page?

 

[Shelley]

Just curious wouldn't there be an issue with users having smaller avatars on the membercard and in the profile mast area?Indicators would be floating in the additional space and not directly on the avatar.

I'd argue that having the green dot on the member card and profile page would be superfluous, because those areas already contain an online indicator.

I do think it's a bad idea to show it on all user generated content, though, including statuses, profile posts and comments.

Not really, it has a last viewed indicator - not really an online right this very second you're viewing indicator

Totally agree with that.

Just on Mike's profile page? I think that'd smell of favouritism

Seriously though, no I think that'd be too much overkill LOL

Totally agree with that.

I actually didn't mean to say bad. Distracted by a noisy toddler I think it's a good idea for it to be shown on all user generated content.

I still see it as an online indicator, even if it's text based though. Obviously if they last viewed something a moment ago, they are online right this very second. It's not quite as explicit; being considered "online" is activity within the last X minutes. I think it's 15 minutes by default. So, if it says I last viewed something 16 minutes ago, I'm no longer "online", but, granted, that's not immediately clear from the member card.

Then for consistency I think it'd need to be on the profile page of the person you're viewing as well.... although I'm not sure green dots everywhere would be good for the eyes LOL

I'm neither for or against it, to be honest. I'm just thinking with the OCD side of my brain today. Now I expect to see a green dot in the avatar of someone who is online, so my brain needs to see it everywhere otherwise there is no spoon.... wait . . . .

I've just come to the realisation in the last 10 minutes that I think they should cancel feature. It's generated so much discussion, I literally don't even care anymore

Someone give me a little nudge once a decision has been made and I'll go with that as being the best solution possible.

Who'd have thought a little green dot would cause so much noise

Maybe for the member profile and member card, it could be text-based, like so:



And red for offline.

It'd probably look better above "X was last seen," but yeah. Then for the profile page, it could go above the Last Activity text.

Yes, 15 minutes.

And exactly!

Why?

The dot in the same location is perfect if that is added.

That'd work, too, yeah.

Current Status: [Green Dot] / [Red Dot]

An offline indicator is superfluous.

If there is no online indicator then they are offline (or invisible).

For stalkers.
