    Question Online status now with star

    Hi,

    The online status is now a star.. is it part of the new layout ?

    I didn't noticed that change until a few minutes ago.

    Is it possible to have the old 'online' instead, can't find that option in Options.. !?

    Regards,

    EDIT: I'm a white star..

    Maybe it should be moved back to the right of the name . . .

    The star is too big for the text line, it looks strange.

    Not sure if the star was made or it was already there as an option but I think the star should be green when online and red when offline. Plus making it a bit smaller might look nicer.

    I don't see anything but blue stars, even on invisible people!
    I should have a white star, or offline star is it showing for anyone else?

    OK, I was just going by a2b2's statement that invisible mode was set, yet I was seeing as online(along with everyone else in the thread)

    I like those WN-Ali,

    good work ! However I'd stick with only two, the green one and the dark gray.

    Also, a star is usually used with favorites / ratings.

    The red would be for invisible users, only administrators would see it. We would only see online/offline (green/grey).

    would be nice to see them swapped, although the orginal skin would be nicer

    Another vote for the coloured circles It's what I'm used to from other forums. The star just seems.. wrong and too big.

    The colored balls - I really like these. I think these would look great!

    Yep, colored balls have my vote as well. Stars are ugly and hard to tell apart from a glance.

    Is there any way we can go back to the old text version for us vertical people? The star looks just weird in vertical, I prefer the text personally.

    How about we make the image a little smaller and move it up by your user name?
