The avatars being already quite small, I think it would be nicer if the "online now" icon is placed somewhere else, otherwise it covers up too much of the avatar.

In summary, there was a discussion about the "online now" icon covering up too much of the avatar in the post view. It was mentioned that it appears in the lower right corner in Firefox, but may be a small layout bug in Chrome. Suggestions were made to move it down slightly or to a lower corner.

Which avatar in which view? Are you on a PC or iPad or phone? What browser are you using?

Oh, the green dot thing. Okay, got it thanks. I was never bothered by it, but maybe @Greg Bernhardt can move it down slightly or to a lower corner.
