[IDEA] - Being able to view the "Who's Online"

I've been a member of another forum for 2-3 years and when I moved over to this forum, I discovered that we couldn't view the "Who's Online" list, or at least I can't. This is why I would like this feature to be included. Also, the forum should make things easier to see when the user was last active, not last actively posting.

No, no. That's not what I meant. In fotums supported by SMF, there is a plugin where it allows one to view the Online list. The one already implemented on the forum are those online, but rather by people last active, it's by username. Sorry if it wasn't clear before.

I don't see the need.

I wanted a option to make myself invisible on Who's Online.

It's good for private chats, you get a sense of knowledge when they were last active.
Being invisible is good, too.

This is possible. Administrators and moderators are already able to view last visit times, so it'd probably be easy enough to add a new "Sort by" selection on the user list or something.

Or a clickable link that links you to an Online list and views the list of users online and what they're doing. Guests are included as well.

That's been requested before, and it's easily possible, but it got a lot of conflicting answers last time so it didn't end up getting added.  Maybe the idea will do better this time.

Just to make sure, you're talking about something like this?

I'm not sure I should force him, but could you shut down FailForums? I didn't have a account there, I use my account for EE. FailForums sucks for me.

Please, don't go offtopic.

oh, man, if only there were a simple, easy way to tell the moderators that someone might be going off-topic. like a button.

please read this:

Leave the moderation to those with authority, it is not the job of the forum users to "mini-mod" each other.

but yeah please get back on topic
