Let's see who's online! - 2006/11/10 00:25One of my favorite features on a forum is the ability to see who is surfing at the same time I am. I'm sure this forum has that feature, just not on.
Whaddaya think?

Re:Let's see who's online! - 2006/11/10 06:55That's a fairly standard and usefull feature but it may fall down once the community grows beyond a certain point as it may have issues sticking 50 names on the online list. But in the meantime, it would be nice. Or a way to see only when your contacts are online may be simpler and just as usefull

Re:Let's see who's online! - 2006/11/11 09:49You can see people's online status (including the date they were last logged in), but only on the Connections screen as far as I can tell. So, the functionality exists, it just needs to be made more accessible

Re:Let's see who's online! - 2006/11/13 18:29I can see which of my connections are logged in from anywhere. The list of connections, along with their status, is under the user menu on the right hand of the screen. You guys not have this?

Re:Let's see who's online! - 2006/11/13 22:05My connections work fine. I guess the OP means a full list a la phpbb default, though?

Re:Let's see who's online! - 2006/11/14 17:50I have yet to figure out why we care who is online? Is there an Instant Chat feature I've overlooked somewhere?-Ryuteki, Owner of the Rules!

There is a function to PM people and email them. If they are online then it may be worthwhile waiting around for a response or checking in 10mins.
General curiosity and traffic recording are also good reasons.

Re:Let's see who's online! - 2006/11/30 13:06There seems to be duplicates in my connections display... According to my display there are 2 Calmdowns and 2 Brokkurs.

Sounds like the board is not only working as intended, but working above expectations!

Re:Let's see who's online! - 2006/12/11 09:55i dont know if it's just true or if it's just since the time the site was lagged up, but the boards seem pretty deserted... To help foster the sense of "community" (i.e. you dont feel like you're the only person online) I think it would be great to be able to see how many peeps are actually logged onto the site and/or a wee display to see the daily server load compared to previous days etc, like what they have over on the EVE-O site.
Becuz at the mo it feel like it's me all on my lonesome, and this cant be the case surely?? ============================ "There is always Hope...." - Elessar Telcontar ============================

Re:Let's see who's online! - 2006/12/11 10:44/me switches to hsi Elvis voice: "Are you lonesome tonight do you miss me tonight ..."
Onyx' proposals would be really nice to have. Just the buddy list isn't enough, because i cant add all people
And on a more general rant i would not have choosen Joomla at all, with 1000s of users in mind for the future ... but that's just me.

Re:Let's see who's online! - 2006/12/11 14:55At the risk of totally derailing this thread, I feel that I'm obligated to point you here. That picture doesn't really do our Karaoke Night justice, though. Elvis was only one of the attractions, but you'll have to bug Pétur if you want to hear about the others. He might fire me if I tell stories about him. Zack Walters EVE: The Second Genesis Organized Play Coordinator White Wolf | CCP North America
