Cool VL Viewer forum

Hello. In CoolVL the online status is displayed in avatar's profile.It's wery cool.

Could you add that for chat boxes too? So when, say, someone is afking and then come back - he or she does not have to open person he was speaking to profile to check his online status. Would make many people (I think, especially ones who have students like me or maybe lots of IMing clients) much happier.



Thank you.

The online status of an avatar is automatically reported in the IM window when you open it, if they allow you to see their online status (and should they go offline and online during an IM session, this is reported too). The same is true for profiles (you will see them as "offline" if they don't allow you to see their online status).

And before you ask, no, I will not provide a possibility to override the privacy settings of other users, reporting their actual online status regardless of them allowing you to see it or not. I know that this can be bypassed via the use of scripts and that some viewers allow to do this too, but the Cool VL Viewer is not a spying tool, and I will not implement any feature that could be used for stalking or spying people.
