[ADDED] *Saying if a member is online on their homepage

Like the title says, I think it would be super useful if it said whether a member was online or not on their homepage, so you don't have to sift through 2+ pages of the currently online members or find a place where the member posted. It could be either an icon that lights up when the member logs on, like it does in messages, or the words "Member is online" or something, like it does in Forum posts. This would be, in my opinion, mainly useful if you're waiting for someone to reply to a message or accept/decline friend or breeding requests.

Please post if you have a way to improve this!

The Last active date on each player's homepage has a time stamp on it allowing you to see when they last loaded a page :)
I wouldn't mind if it stated if a player was online, but I really appreciate that the timestamp shows you just how long ago they were last active, vs saying they're online when in reality they logged off 10 minutes ago. I would rather the time stamp not be removed if this were to be implemented because it's more accurate. 

^{I can see the potential for it to be abused if you're more aware of when a member is online, particularly if waiting for something like a request to be accepted/declined. I prefer the current system as it is. You have a timestamp, and you already have 'online' icons on the player list in messages, in the forums and on the friends page.}

I'd support this if an option were added to log in as "invisible." Actually, that'd be a useful feature anyway. I probably wouldn't use personally, at least much, but I could definitely see it being handy for a lot of people.

I would LOVE to be able to log in as "invisible"! If that became a part of this suggestion, I would support.

I'd be hesitant to ever add "invisible".  One day I'll log in and it'll show 0 members online and I'll be sad :(

I remember this was on the old EV! It was quite useful C:

Abbey, if you were to ever put an option for invisibility for members, i'd have it to where mods and administrators can see you regardless of whether you check to appear invisible or not.  

Good point, Abbey. ^^' And yeah, I'd definitely have it so mods can see all online members.

What I'm mostly saying is if that ever happened, if new members came to join the game and saw only 3 people online it might discourage them to join, thinking it's an inactive game.

It's highly unlikely that it would actually happen, but in the event that it does I'd rather not discourage new members based on apparent inactivity.

So "Invisible" is something I'd probably not add.  I'm up for adding an online icon to player pages though.

I like the idea of a icon it seems to be a good compromise that won't discourage new players

Added! ♥
