icon for notify Online/Offline on HF ? - Saucisson - Aug 4, 2016

Hi everyone,

I'm just asking why not add an icon next to usernames either online or offline, so that communication between forum members can release much faster?

NOT HERE:

BUT HERE:

Especially in the "Marketplace" where there might avoid posting in the "Buyers Bay" on threads that are useless if we have an icon that notifies if we are online or offline

Thanks if some users reply to my question, i just want know if it's a good idea, because for me, it can be good for everyone here

Next to your name. It says if you are online or not

LMAO, there is one??

Unless they are uber and have turned it off

No, wait i will modify my thread, I would mean this but next to usernames on Section, for exemple when you go to " The Lounge " etc, you understand ? ^^

It might take a bit of server load to check otherwise it's a really good idea.

He's talking about on the thread listing. It's for lazy users that want to find fast deals.

I support this idea

This is a good explanation. I support this.

You can't assume members will use such a feature appropriately, you will always have those members who will forget to change the option within the thread to say whether they are available or not.

I think it's whether they are online or offline, not a selected feature. And if they're on mobile, it can show a mobile icon.

Why are your arrows the wrong way around?

Also I don't see the need for this on thread listing...

Yes, fast deals exactly ! 😊

Might make thread listings look a bit wacked. I don't agree.

This doesn't look so bad:

Simple yet effective. There are other methods to indicate online time that is very clean looking.

I actually think this looks pretty neat, the smallest things can be the most effective things.

I don't think that there's a template in the CP for this, and core edits will just get overwritten when HF updates later down the road.
