Hi

I really would love a feature whereby if a member is actually online at that moment is visually represented by their avatar....just as Facebook would show a green dot on their avatar....is such a thing possible even if it's by way of an extra module?

Thank you so much

Thank you very much for your answer....but is there anyway for the actual avatar to have a green dot on it when it's appearing to the left of each respect post on the post ....Facebook style?

yes, but at a cost.

the forums are cached, so if you're going to require that all forum posts everywhere change every time a user is online/offline its only going to update for as long as your cache is set to.

If you have a 5 min cache, then it will be as accurate as that.
