Adding a "Last Online" feature to people's profiles page

[Lord oKOyA]

Would it be feasible to add a feature to everyone's profile page which logged the last time they were online? This would be extremely helpful for those of us in PBP games who are waiting for others to contribute before advancing the story.

If this is not possible (or possibly unwanted as an invasion of privacy) could one instead create a "Most Recent Post" feature that shows, on your main profile page, the most recent post made by any and all of your account aliases? One can already glean this information by checking each alias manually, but it would be extremely helpful if one didn't have to search each alias individually (as some posters have many, many aliases).

Just a suggestion. Thoughts?

Cheers!

PS Sorry if this has been asked before... my search turned up no such previous request.

I don't think we'll do the "last online" bit for privacy reasons, but the "most recent post" thing might be possible after the next messageboards tweak.

Works for me. I respect people's right to lurk! :)

Thank you for your response.

You know you can also click on a user's name to see all of their posts, right? Click on their name, and the tab "recent posts" and bam! Their recent posts appear.

For example, I can see this was your last post and, by clicking on your aliases' names at the top of the screen, that this is one of your last posts as this one alias.

Takes more work, but until the new feature is implemented, hopefully it will help.

I do realize that. In fact I mentioned it above. :)

Say for instance though, I want to know when the last time Dragonborn3 was online, or at least when was the last time he posted at all, using any of his aliases. That is a lot of clicking to find the answer.

What I am asking for is a way to see quickly when the last time he posted under any of his aliases. In other words, has he posted in other threads today (using another of his aliases) and forgot to post in our one particular PBP? Or has he not posted at all since Tuesday?

I check his main profile and get the answer. "Ah... Ok... he hasn't posted at all since Tuesday... RL must be getting in the way." or "Hey, he has posted today... he is just ignoring us! The slacker!" :)

Just kidding DB3! :) I used you as an example due to the high number of aliases you have.

I suspect that a lot of GMs would find this feature useful for gauging player absenteeism... with just a click or two.

YMMV :)

Concur, this would be extremely useful.
