"X" is currently...

Post by naruto_chao »

Maybe it's because I'm nosey, but I would like for the forum to have a sort of current activity listing on our profiles. I just personally got used to using it on other forums (to check if I was being ignored or not) and I think if people use that, develop close friendships and pay attention, I feel that a lot more rp topics will take off, thus helping the site in some way at least.

I'm typing this up pretty late, so if I need to explain something, just ask.

Edit; I forgot to mention how it would work, my bad (I told you it was late)

Let's use Mooncow as an example.

If Mooncow was idle on the main page of the site, it would say something along the lines of "Mooncow is currently viewing (whatever page he went idle on)

If Mooncow was viewing or replying to a thread, it would say so.

If Mooncow was sending or reading a PM then it would instead say "Mooncow is Private Messaging"

I hope that cleared up any confusion I caused.

This already exists, albeit in a less detailed form. Just click the "Who is online" option on the index

Well, I suppose we learn something every day.

I still think it'd be nice for it to show up on profiles though.

If it helps, at the bottom of the page it shows who's looking at the current forum. That way you don't need to pull up the view online.

^this won't let you find out if someone is responding to a pm though. only looking at the forums.

I tend to spend so much time sending and reading pm's that i often lose track of if the person who got it even recieved it at all.
