Adding the CSS

Go to Administration Panel ► Display ► Colors ► CSS stylesheet. So the field functions properly when members are online or offline, paste the following into your sheet and submit.

Code:: .user_status { vertical-align:top; border-spacing:0; display:inline; } #is_on.user_status { color:green } #is_off.user_status { color:red } .post #is_on.user_status { display:none } .post.online #is_off.user_status{ display:none } .post.online #is_on.user_status { display:inline }

Explanation :
.user_status : is the class given to both the online and offline tables.
#is_on : is the id given to the table displayed when a member is online.
#is_off : is the id given to the table displayed when a member is offline.

You can change the color of the online and offline texts by changing color:green; or color:red; to the color of your choice. You can use hex, color names, or RGB.

You can even be creative and change the font with font-family or add a glow with text-shadow.

Code:: #is_on.user_status { color:green; font-family:papyrus; text-shadow:0px 0px 3px green; } #is_off.user_status { color:red; font-family:papyrus; text-shadow:0px 0px 3px red; }
