A WHOSE ONLINE NOW

WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA

FIRST IFYOU ARE DOING LOOK UPS YOU WOULD KNIOW THE PERSON IS ONLINE.
SECOND IF YOU HAD NOT SEEN SOMEONE FOR A WHILE YOU CAN SEE IF THEY JUST POP IN.

IF YOU ALWAYS STAY LOGGED NO,,NO PROBS CAN BE ON A INACTIVE TIMER :-D

A bit impractical on a site with this many members, I think.

The only large site I know that has it is very annoying because the list takes up half of the page.

I'd rather have more room for posts than a list of name most of which I won't recognise.

It's very easy to register with GR if people want to watch without being recognised they'll just create a fake account.

Nope...because sometimes I appear online and I'm not really *there* I'm watching tv whilst doing my work etc..and have just happened to leave the window open...it could cause all sorts of hysterics if someone is shown online and folk imagine they're being ignored because they don't get a reply.

Sometimes if I'm busy I'll nip in for a quick read but I don't always feel in the mood to reply.....

Nah. It's not something I'd welcome x
