I don't mind the dot. But when it does get released I am sure there will be many ways to change it. For those that don't like the dot and think it messes with the avatar you could make the avatar itself be the online indicator.

It only shows in the message user info block, by design.

I just noticed another avatar where there are three green dots:

What does it mean if there are three green dots?
That must be a glitch or something.
Edit: Never mind. The user made an avatar with those dots on it.
Only if they have no life. . .Which is exactly what many will do to mess with the admin if XenForo v1.4 is released with this new feature.

Will I get banned from XF when I plaster my teddy-bear with green dots ?

I doubt it.Most of us have enough respect for Mike and Kier not to do that. But I think there will be many others that will do just that on other forums just to mess with the admin.
Yes it can - which means we can move it, turn it into something else, hide it or whatever we decide to do with it as admins to stop our members from doing nefarious things with it . . . not that I think any of my members would bother with something so pointless anyway.I really hope Mike and Kier reconsider the idea of putting the dot in the avatar image which can so easily be manipulated.

Or in this case possibly causing violence depending on how many dots an admin can see. One dot for safe.. three dots for punch your face in!
