Nope.

I'm talking about the AJAX/realtime type deal.

Now this plugin is tarting to intrigue me as the option for user's in the last 24 hours would be my preference :)

'Today' is the default, but yeah, 24 hours is what I actually expect a lot of people to use, especially on forums that have multiple time zone users.

Agreed there, when we tried the Users Online mod, everyone complained that the list reset at midnight server time. Even those on the same time as the server didn't like it too much.

That mod should actually offer 24 hours and 7 days now?

I'm not sure what it does now, after the complaints we had removed it and never really checked on it since.

If it's http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=217 it does today, 24 hours, 7 days, accounts for buddies and hidden properly and also displays the time the user was last online.

Mine doesn't display the time the user was last online (as a tooltip) and it doesn't account for buddies but that's more because I'm not actually that fussed about accounting for buddies...

Thanks just took a quick look and that's the same mod, for some reason I never got the options for changing today vs. 24 hours etc, maybe another mod conflicts. Just re-installed for the heck of it and searched high and low and still no options to change it.

SMF's buddy system is rather week anyway. If someone is adding me to their buddy list I'd like to knwo about it and have the ability to approve, ignore, or block the person. The current implementation is more like a stalker list if IMO.

Wedge will have asynchronous friend lists like here.
When I get to it.

^^ why I'm not interested in supporting it for my plugins :P

Thanks for the heads up Nao, I hadn't noticed how it was implemented here.

It's Ultimate Profile with some custom code like the ability to hide selected contacts (eg you want to follow someone but don't want it to be known.)
