Implemented Online status icon in postbit

[Alpha1]

A handy feature that my members have gotten used to is a small icon in postbit to indicate if a member is online or not. Please add this function.

There is a mod for this already. http://xenforo.com/community/resources/rt-online-status-ribbon.1276/

searching for resources with 'online' in the title will not expose the addon you refer to. What is the name of the addon?

Sorry, was finding it for you. I edited just as you posted. Anyway it's http://xenforo.com/community/resources/rt-online-status-ribbon.1276/

Thanks Mike!

Personally, I think it should be a core feature.

There seem to be some issues with that hack, as its breaking responsive design and will not show up in the set location. While this is off topic, it does portray why such functions should be in the core.

Good suggestion, this should be included in XenForo long time.

So don't forget to like his (first) post, if you want to see this implemented in XenForo

and a very good ass-on this is too . I've been using it for a while now and it has a very tasteful small red and green dot next to user names. The problem is add-ons can break upon a XenForo update so for it to be part of the core would get my vote.

That's exactly what does not work for me on XF 1.2.2. Could you respond to my post here: http://xenforo.com/community/threads/rt-online-status-ribbon.41691/page-9#post-661844

Seems it was suggested back in 2010 and closed for Lack of Interest

Personally I think this is very "standard" thing to have. Would like to see it implemented.

That suggestion seems to relate more to Shelleys artwork than to the online status function.
In any case, there surely is no lack of interest in this function. 10 votes in a few days so far.

I've been playing with the online/offline thing again so it got a like from me.

The add-on recommended above btw is very good and your able (pending your comfortable with css and photoshop) can craft out many new forms of online status. Point being it's good as a temp solution until this is/may be accommodated.

So I'm guessing an "ass-on" is an add-on with a little extra attitude?

I like this idea:
(But with clear style ...?!)

@Shelley - I like the concepts so far, but have you tried a series of "lights" around the username that are either off or on depending on online status - kind of like a theatre marquee?

Clear Style?

I think that would be annoying for members but I have some xmas lights i design a while back and will try those later.

Yeah, possibly. I meant fairly small points of light though, not anything too big or overpowering.
