I wish the "username is also here" mention at the top of a forum or topic would not cause the entire content to shift up and down. 

For example instead adding more space above the forum name like this:

 

Maybe it could be below the forum name? 

 

This is still a problem more than two years later on 5.0.5

Could the units always be displayed, but transparent and highlighted only when not empty? A toggle could be added to the theme editor if people want the "bouncing content" effect.

This is the sole reason why I haven’t got them turned on my site. The layout shifting up and down when it appears.

Could someone please let me know exactly what item? I ask as Im not seeing it with the "Is also here" item, as that is actually on a bar that is already present, so there isnt really anything to 'shift'

On mobile.

See 2 screenshots, one with another member here, then when they have left. It shifts the page up and down as the box expands.

OK, I have added that as a bug report so we can look into getting it addressed

The "reply to this topic" box also shifts when a live topic "XYZ is typing" is displayed.
