I have a post with this bookmarked
So I’m assuming this is what you were talking about and how it was a hassle. The answer is simple. Bookmark it! (This is still a feature we need)
this is a really good idea now I can see if my friends are online wait but so many people would be on at the same time, wouldn’t it like clog up the screen…
Yeah it would be an interesting mechanic for interacting with others on the forum, and probably contribute to an increased feeling of shared presence, where people are comfortable with it.
(It can already be hard when things are virtual and it can feel a bit more isolated)
I think either way unfortunately we’re not in a position to install this plugin here — we can make use of only the Discourse Business and Standard plugins Plugin directory | Discourse - Civilized Discussion
The plugin link: Who's Online Plugin (discourse-whos-online) - plugin - Discourse Meta
