Implemented Online Status Indicator / move outside of Avatar-image

[erich37]

The position of the "green dot" inside the Avatar is not great, as it destroys the appearance of the Avatar-image.
Depending on the Avatar-image, the "Online Status Indicator" is also hardly visible.

The "Online Status Indicator" should be positioned somewhere outside of the Avatar-image.

That must be a glitch or something.

yeah, the green dot is a glitch.

yeah, the green dot is a glitch.

Green Dot boy: There is no green dot.

Neo: There is no green dot?

Green Dot boy: Then you'll see, that it is not the green dot that duplicates, it is only yourself.

XF is inflicted with Green Dot Phobia, where's that dot remover add-on???

 

[Bionic Rooster]

Personally I like the Green Dot and if it want's to replicate itself, who am I to stand in the way of evolution?

 

[Shelley]

I agree. Also, what if a person's avatar is actually green? Then the indicator will be completely invisible.

The chances of that happening are a million to one where a member would have the exact variation of green and in the location where the indicator is. IMO.

Extra.css

It seems fairly inconsequential but I have to wonder why an online dot would appear over a background which is constantly changing color which means sometimes it's easy to see and sometimes not. I think every single forum owner will run into an issue of the dot not showing for someone because of the background color. Hard to believe the core would have something that will affect every single forum owner or it's users in a negative way. If I don't know css I have to search this thread to see what to put in extra css or probably search the resources for a solution. It doesn't seem to follow the Xenforo trend IMO.

I have just come up with an idea that would correct this.

I think this guy would disagree...

Only if they have no life. . .

But most people don't have a life. If they had a life, why would they be a member of a forum?

Also, I wish I had published my avatar-icon idea earlier... Now everyone read my mind and took the idea.

(Obviously they didn't, but )

Has anyone seen my online indicator? I just can't see it anywhere.

Wait, you're online?

Pure nonsense.

Unfortunately, I can see it...

Yeah



Right there, in the corner. That darn box shadow!

Pure nonsense.

Everything I type seems to be nonsense recently...

You got that right.

Yesterday you insulted the developers of this software.

Today you're insinuating that every forum member anywhere has no life.

Good work

I'm still going to do what I suggested years ago, no matter what the default is - the top right corner of the avatar holder, no border radius, no box shadow.

Good work

Today, not online, I knocked down two glass plates from a light shade that smashed on the kitchen floor and I just pulled a small glass fragment from the skin on my foot...

I'm sure there's something not quite right with me recently...
