Member Online/Offline Status Indication...

Do you think it would be possible to have some type of indication by our user names letting members know our online/offline status? If the getting is really good, the member would be able to change his/her status at will regardless of their actual status.

Even though this is a forum, it could aid in live support to our members. Meaning at any given time faster responses to posts and more satisfied members due to the simple fact of being helped quicker.

Just a thought

 

uniique1 I was thinking of posting that myself, good idea you have my vote

Also a mood status would be good but i don't think that would be possible

 

The live add idea would be great, it would let people know wither to sit waiting for a update or wither they should check back later, I've seen myself siting for ages waiting for a replay not knowing if the person was on or offline, if i remember correctly Daniel_G has something along the lines of what your asking for in his sig but it's something to do with messenger i think and i have no idea if he uses it to let people know if he's online but it's a pretty handy thing.

 

OMG I just can here to post the same thought and i read uniique1 has posted it and i have to say i'd like that to happen to AD. It will help a lot of people post better, like post when there online n stuff like that

 

What do you think DRD, I personally think this would improve your site dramitically

 

we have 4 votes for this idea and im sure others will agree with us to

 

Now you have 5 votes. Great idea. Other forum sites have the online/offline indicator, so why shouldn't a great site like AD?

 

You have my vote, but mods and admins should always keep their status disabled...

 

Yes i agree with the mods and admins should have private status.

 

y J-Kwon?

 

In my initial post I stated the above. ^^^

I think that pretty much would cover the private/nonprivate issue. The member has the option. [bold]IF[/bold] this idea was proven and put into the works I'm sure the Staff, Admins & Moderators would decide "yay or nay".

**edit [bold]THANKS FOR THE BACKING OF THE IDEA[/bold]
Let's just hope the Staff agrees and goes for implemenation in the near future.

 

@killerc

Then spammers and offensive posters don't know when their lurking about

 

ya thats true but i hate frekin AD spammers

 

Not many people like them in fact no does!

But their isn't any way of stopping them thats way private status for mods and admins would be a good idea if the whole status thing came about

EDIT: Back to keeping this thread on topic

 

GENTLEMEN, let's keep it on topic please. I feel this is a good idea as well as many of you have expressed...let's focus on that in here. THANKS.

 

Sorry unique i edited my post

 

yah you have my vote, by the way would it be complex to do that or cost more money????Someone please explain..thx

I dont think it would cost anything, its just a matter of modifying the site which takes time. BTW you double posted, just like your sig said.

 

if you look carefully its all dun in 1minute not a difference of 2 or 3 and plus i wrote that in my sig because my computer is messed so it would dowuble post and idiots like you wouldnt complain and i wouldnt have to explain like this
