As I recall, the old forum had a section at the bottom of each section page that showed the user names of anyone perusing that section. The main landing page showed all users that were logged in. The only thing we see with this forum is any Staff that may be online. Another thing is the list of users. The old forum listed every user that was registered now we only see the top 20, Why limit the list to 20 and not show all users? I think it would be nice if those functions could be added to this forum. Just sayin'.
Personally, I'd like to see some sensible contrasting colours on some areas of the forum so you can actually read it! For example ... Not sure about you guys, but I can't read the dark grey on black text! ... especially when the popup also has a level of transparency too.
On that note, there used to be the option of a status update. This seems to have been removed but the status remains (and is massively out of date). Can't find a way to remove it.
How odd! Maybe that's because I haven't set a status yet ... once you do, the option to edit./remove doesn't show!
Its not end of the world stuff... its just outdated (2018, I think). If the option to update statuses remained that would be ok, then I could change it.
It's not easy to find but here is the currently online: https://www.alibreforum.com/forum/index.php?online/
