Code to tell status for online/offline

That's what I did for my art shop to make sure the user was active. You can add them then remove them if you want to know if they're active. Besides the way this code would work you'd need to rely the person actually wanting this code and putting it somewhere.

thats the whole point... the point is if the user WANTS to share their online status.

According to Niet, an online status for a user is going to be put on the profile page eventually.

woo

What if you set your status as "busy"? The code would probably display "online", but you won't always available to respond to things. As mentioned before, the VIP list and the upcoming feature helps in knowing online status.

Now, I'll admit that I got lazy and didn't read all the replies, so this is without taking other input into account. Just, you know, for the record. :P This is a creative idea but at the same time doesn't seem super useful to me personally.

Online/offline status for all users and not just for those on your VIP List will eventually make a return, which means no code will be needed for this.
