Online Now | The Moderating Team

[Physicist]

I know back in the day, we had the "online now" icons from Myspace haxed into the phpbb. Is there a way we could get that to work in vBulletin? I thought that was pretty nice, and convinient.

Also, I know a lot of forums (invisionfree I'm sure of it) there will be a button somewhere that says "The moderating team" or something similar at the bottom of the page. The best we have is the color code legend, but that gives no way to immediately access a moderators profile. I think it would be a nice addition if we already have it- so that we can quickly get to a mod or admins profile and PM them instead of having to first find a post by them, then going to their profile and PMing them.

Ok, the online now thing is in each post. If you look in the bottom left of each post, you'll see something that looks like a V (the vBulletin symbol, at least for the default blue theme). If it is white, then the user is online, if it is dark, then the user is offline or hidden.

Now then, for each and every user, you can simply click their username in the post and it will bring up a small but useful menu where you can PM the user, view their profile, etc. For those with a colored and bold name, you should automatically recognize that the member is part of the staff. It's simple to remember the colors too. So, I think this takes care of it :)

Oh, I didn't see that :). But for the second part, I know that you can click their names in the post, but was I meant is what if you need to contact the person and you don't have one in front on you? On some forums you can scroll to the bottom of the main page and click the moderating team button and that takes you to a place where you can click to the profile of each member. Here, you either need to search for that member, or find one of their posts in the forum to get to the option.

Check out the bottom where it says "Forum Leaders"

Ah, yes. That's exactly what I was talking about :). Thanks!
