Online or Offline?

First of all, this is almost a suggestion for myself because I forget to log off alot, but I think that  when the window of scratch is closed, the member should be automatically logged off, and that goes with my real suggestion is showing below the user's icon on their my stuff page is that their online or offline, because I'm sick and tired of asking my friends "are you on?" and getting a reply the next day saying ''yah, how bout' you?" but by then you're already logged off, so I believe that offline or online would help scratchers understand if their friends are online or offline.

Re: Online or Offline?

the scratch website does log you off automactily but only if you are still logged on for a week so this could work

well any suggestion is hard for programmers to do because if it was easy then it would already be on here right?

The idea of showing who's online or offline has been suggested before.

As for your first suggestion in regards to your forgetfulness to log off, you could just set your browser to delete the cookies every time you turn off the browser window so you'll automatically log off.
