Implemented [suggestion] Users that I follow online now - sidebar block

[Miko]

I think it would be handy and social to have a quick view of the users that I follow that are currently online.

A extra block on the sidebar almost identical to Members Online Now with only the users that I follow.

Take care.

So, each member would see only the members that they follow who are online now? I like this idea alot.

 

[Miko]

Yes exactly that

Or just use a symbol or something next to the users in the WOL block to indicate who you're following that is also online? vB had a +, perhaps it can use some other symbol, maybe a small icon?

Sounds like it'd be easy to do (from the code snippet posted). I like this idea.

 

[Lycaon]

That's a good idea.

Actually, I slightly change my idea on what I posted earlier... if there's a Followers block, either above the usernames or under, there could be a sub-section that also lists the last X activities they have done that's taken from Your News Feed, with a link to the full news feed. It would be a great way to bring out that feature to the front and get more exposure.

Great idea! I support all the "social" features!
