Online indicator in postbit

I don't know if I'm missing something, but I am fairly sure there is no online/offline indicator in a user's postbit, unless I'm blind.

Could this possibly be added?

Personally, I'd rather it wasn't. I don't mind being visible in the section I'm in down the bottom of the page, and on the forum home page... but I prefer my name not to light up next to every post I write every time I come on-line.

This would encourage me to use the stealth login mode... and I don't want to do that. ;) Just opinion.

Would your opinion change if the online indicator was only visible from your profile?

I think an online indicator would be quite useful, and I would love to see this implemented.
If I remember correctly, wasn't it in ragezone before the 4.x vB upgrade?

I guess it would, timebomb. I wouldn't mind that so much.

I would love an online indicator regardless of where it is, it's nice to know if the person you are replying to is online or not.

Didn't we have this with our old theme? From what I can recall it didn't piss anybody off back then but I couldn't care less whether it was. May be helpful for users who wish to seek people out. If you don't want to be noticed then I'm sure you can go 'invisible' to avoid it.

If I want to know if someone is on, I check the on-line list on the front page. It is sufficient for me. :eek:tt1:

Yes. Sadly, if you're looking for people on-line to harass, you can check Quick Links > Who's Online
