What is the "Who's Online" area?

I pretty much stick to a handful of fora, but I saw the Who's Online area and I tried to access it, but could not as I was "not authorized". Is this an administrative area? If my memory serves me correctly, I did use this feature a few years ago and it listed who was currently on line for chat, I believe.

Anyway, just curious to know about this feature. Thanks in advance for any info.

IF I recall, that feature was disabled some time ago due to the bandwidth it sucks from the FT system....

Perhaps it will return with the next upgrade....

Perhaps the "error message" can be updated

Thanks, William. Perhaps a message "This feature has been disabled until further notice" should pop up, instead of the following misleading message:

pdb, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

1. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
2. This forum may require additional account pre-requisites that you don't current have. Check the Announcements for this forum to see if you're required to have a minimum number of posts already, etc.
3. If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.

The green dots are useful for knowing who is still about. The PM function works well if you want to contact someone.
