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.

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.

Yup, I needed to make some room :smile:
 
I guess green dot means online and white dot means offline, but what does green with a gray(?) center mean?

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