Online status

[MikeA]

On the "Members List", how difficult would it be to include a symbol or text indicating that member is online?  That might help in selecting challenge invitations.

MikeA, I try look look at the bottom of the forum to see who is signed in. I believe though if the member doesn't open the forum you don't know they are there.?
 
Clear as mud? I to whupped to restate it.

I know what you are talking about Faygo.  The online status also shows on the forum messages but you have to scroll through topic after topic to see who's online.  I was thinking more in terms of an indicator maybe on the Members you've selected to be on your "watch list".  That would be the best place for it I think.Probably ought to be an option on the Profile page to elect NOT to have your online status displayed for those who wish to really remain ghostlike.

I think you're right - I've been meaning to ask WM about that.  I think there have been times when I've seen someone playing but he or she isn't shown as being online.

The forum is a separate application, so the online members that you see at the bottom are indeed people that have visited the forum in the past 20 minutes or so.Seeing members that are online playing in the games is a feature that will be released in the not too distant future.

See how simple that was MikeA. All you had to do was ask.
 
Webman, you Da Man.
