Topic: Instant Status - Facebook Style

[Jester]

Is it possible to (in the future) have status's like with facebook?

For Instance.

Jester "is in no mood for roleplaying today!" would be useful

Work today is just awful!

Couldn't you just put it in your sig?

Marguerite uses that method and it's been effective (well, to me at least...  ) in for seeing how likely she is to knock up a quick reply.

Just reinded me of an application that I used to use, called SigX which did basically that.. *hunts down*

I was distracted with posts I did not realize you talked about moi. I need to put a tracker on you.

-Nods-

Helps with those pesky ones who want to know if I am going to reply, going to bed, going to think of game ideas...etc.

I really don't feel like this feature is really necessary. If you feel like it's that important, you can put it in your signature? There are plenty of characters and space for everyone to do so.

Not a problem. Just suggesting as the board is called "suggest anything".

I dont personally use signatures as i browse from work and all the snazzy pictures and avatars are not really safe for work. So for me thats not really an option. But thanks for the suggestion.

However... I dont think its an idea to just dismiss if its possible. I dont think it would hurt to look a bit like facebook as they have done rather well.

You could always use the text below your avatar for it.

And even if you disable seeing signatures, others can still see yours :)

[Jester]

*feels a little embarrassed now that Xillen has just pointed out the obvious*

Yes you are right. Both ideas are good. Ok. Thats sorted!
