^I love that idea.

Though I prefer the usernames, but I like that it has so many things for "Today's" in one area

I like this idea....
I feel if you were to merge the two left columns together and make it where it shows 4 columns of usernames with the option to turn avatars on or off, and then you have the option to pick what you want the third column, this mod would be excellent!

Is.. is...
a user trying to improve our world :D

Instead of the avatars i would use a ajax popup with an "mini profile(avatar, last online, etc)" like ipb.
So the avatars wouldn't load everytime, only when the user realy "want" to see them.

this is nice something i would definately want

Liking this idea, nice Ragtek.
Going off his idea, if you do this onmouseover pop-up you could do like a business-card style. Last online time, total posts, total threads, avatars etc.

Yes, that's what i meant;)

I'm hopping that vb4 will have the feature like ipb3 and that addon coder could use it where ever they want

Ok so do what I do sometimes... create a public yet joinable usergroup then wrap the old and new What's going on in a conditional.. If this usergroup else this and that way some users if it affects them loading/performance can simply join the group to revert back to the old WOL or you could have it as regular and when they join it shows them advanced WOL.

Either way it's a quick join or remove themself from the group, I do this all the time especially w/ some flash stuff as some complain about the sites loading when at work vs home.

S-MAN

Hmmmm I think there should be the option to have the users online part or not. Im loving the other parts, like top thread starters and so on. but im not really loving the users online part. I like the default way better in my opinion.

Looks okay and some people would use it but I wouldn't... It is very bulky and having multiple scroll bars on the screen doesn't appeal to me.
