    As I know these had to be rebuilt when we upgraded from XenForo 1.1.3 to XenForo 1.1.4, this probably wouldn't be done until we upgrade to XenForo 1.2.2 (or whatever is current at the time, assuming we'll be upgrading to the latest version).

    Currently, we have two status ribbons:
    • Online on a blue background
    • Invisible on a gray background
    It'd be nice if an offline ribbon were added. Currently, when a user is offline or invisible, the end non-staff user just sees nothing under the username. To find out if they're invisible or just offline, they have to bring up their member card or visit their profile. Also, increase the font size back to what it was on 1.1.3 before the ribbons were remade on 1.1.4.

    Now I know this probably sounds like an "Amaury" thing, but it's not.

    Something like this, which would even change online's color:

    Not much to add, other than confirming there are plans to have Online/Invisible/Offline markers in 1.2.x when we upgrade in the near-ish future.

    We're doing a lot of work on the online status indicators for 1.2. To give everyone a heads up, the invisible ribbons were never supposed to display to everyone, and they will be removed. I can't speak much on the specifics though. Just wait and see.

    They actually don't -- not most of the time, anyway.

    For people that are invisible, like Jayn, Krowley, Mixt, etc., nothing appears under their username in the postbit. Occasionally, I'll see invisible under their name, which I've reported to you before, Misty, but I think that's more of a glitch, because most of the time it's not there.

    Eh, I just don't really see the point of them. Feels a bit unnecessary to me.

    Well as far as we know that shouldn't 'glitch' when we upgrade to the next version of Xenforo, as it has been tested. Obviously any problems from then on will be something we can work on then.

    Staff would still see it, obviously, since they bypass privacy settings.

    But yes indeed. Thanks for your thoughts, PAW!

    This can be locked, but I think it was rejected?

    We have offline status ribbons, they're the gray hearts. Closed.
