I just noticed today that PF is now using a small circle beside a poster's name to indicate online presence, with a white circle for offline and a green circle for online.
PF now using gum drops to show online status?
- Thread starter Mark44
- Start date
In summary, PF now uses circles next to a poster's name to indicate online presence, with a white circle for offline and a green circle for online. Posting education in one's profile will now display under the number of posts. The color green with a gray center means the user is invisible. The gum drops are sugar-free. The new dots are cute. However, this change renders signatures, such as "Physics undergraduate student," useless.

Yeah, Greg's been fiddling with stuff again, you'll also notice if you post your education in your profile, it appears under your number of posts now.Mark44 said:

I guess green dot means online and white dot means offline, but what does green with a gray(?) center mean?

Don't be experimenting with the ban gun to see what color it turns.

I like the new look.
However...
Signature: Physics undergraduate student.

:/ So basically it means my signature is 100% useless. Will have to think about another one.Evo said:
