Why put the online/offline icon in the hover bubble when a person would like to see the status in a very quick look and not hover over every person that posted on the thread? Could we maybe have it back on the main posting thread and not in the hover option? Also what happen the the last online option telling where people where go to?

Hidden/removed like most things in 3.1 to make it cleaner.

Theres a hook for it already.

The hook is free and available here:

What effects on performance do hooks generally have? Take the one above for example, to reinstate this feature which has been moved/removed (call it whatever you want) via this hook, will there now be a negative effect on server load/page loading times for busy sites?

The added server load won't be measurable. Hooks are very efficient - especially something as simple as that one.

Brill, thanks :)

If, for some reason, you didn't want to use a hook, the data is still available in the skin too. Skinners will easily be able to add an online indicator to their skins if they believe it to be worthwhile.

Heya Matt or Rikki the last place a user was at, was that taken out? The list of the last activity?

If you hover over the username you will see where the person is currently in the pop-up

Then on their profile it should say it as well. I ask cause it just shows the person was active X minutes ago. Think that is a bug?

And to bring this simple functionality back, i've also released a hook which doesn't display it next to your name, but in your user info:

I don't really see the advantage of putting it in the User Info Pane.. I feel like it kinda detracts from the "clean" feeling that it has right now, but I guess that it just my opinion.

An alternative was released by Michael a few days ago

I think he realizes this. If you read his post closely he says that it is "a hook which doesn't display it next to your name, but in your user info"

Yeah, I felt emulating the 3.0/3.1 behavior was best, but if some people want the indicator somewhere else, I guess they have that option now.

I knew of Micheal's hook. And yes, that is exactly the reason i released mine.

But has the 3.2 made it to clean in a way?

to clean what? ;)

too* clean is what I believe he meant..

I know that, I was just pulling his leg ;)

Yes, ty.

Thanks Michael. Just what I wanted.

May you point out where this code is located in the default skin so I can activate it without using hook?

I tried this, but it won't work because $members variable isn't on topic view template?

<if test="cardOnline:|:$members['_online']">


<span>your online stuff</span>


<else />


<span>your offline stuff</span>


</if>

Nevermind, figured it out

This worked:

<if test="cardOnline:|:$post['author']['_online']">


<span>your online stuff</span>


<else />


<span>your offline stuff</span>


</if>
