Ok folks, I have this working now. This is how it works:

As default, it shows the images ONLine/OFFLine.

IF you want to put in something else for your status (ie gone diving, vacation, yard work, meeting, etc....) you will have to do the following:

Go to My Controls -> Edit Profile Info and then scroll down to where you see:
Board Status
Normally shows on/off line. Are you on vacation?

In the box next to it, fill in the information you want. This works whether you are online or offline.

Example, say you are online, but in a meeting and you don't want others to think that you are ignoring them, then type in Meeting and it will be displayed in RED next to your Status on the board in place of the ONLine image that is currently shown. Or, if you are going diving and want to rub it in to those that are land-locked, then type in "Gone Diving" and this will show as your current status vs the OFFLine image. Just remember gang to delete your status when you return or you will always be diving (not a bad thing) or in a meeting. By it being blank, the default images will be shown

Also implemented: Another category under Members that shows a new column called Status. This shows these same results.

Please give me some feedback as to whether this is useful and was actually what you were looking for.

Thanks

I have to admit, I like the online/offline status indicator myself, but it would be cool if we could add a "flag" under it to tell people we are busy or away.

i like it. it gives a lot more leeway than just a diving flag. i.e. when i abandon sd for a couple weeks in july, i'll be able to assure everyone that i am not a lucky dog because it's not a diving trip. thanks, ZD! can i slip the money in one bill at a time?

Would it be possible to come up with a little "Gone Diving" symbol to mark our profiles that we could activate when we are on trips?

Ok folks, I have this working now. This is how it works:

As default, it shows the images ONLine/OFFLine.

IF you want to put in something else for your status (ie gone diving, vacation, yard work, meeting, etc....) you will have to do the following:

Go to My Controls -> Edit Profile Info and then scroll down to where you see:
Status
Your current status

In the box next to it, fill in the information you want. This works whether you are online or offline.

Could you put this in the 'Tips and Tricks' section so we, ur I, can find when we are going somewhere.

Go to your profile and edit it to be blank.

ZD...is it possible to alter the color of someone's status so that way we'll still know if they're offline or online? for example, right now you're still at your client's office so i'd have to check the online list to see if you're on the board. it's a minor request, something that you can think about in the next few months... :fish: or maybe by mid-july before we bombard you again. :2cool:
