I'm going to code this in regardless, but still...

It'd be nice to have a pseudo-private who's online page. That way, instead of showing all users where any given user is, have the who's online page only display the users location if that user has the person looking on their buddy list.

So for instance, on my boards I'd only see the location (where they are) if I was on the persons buddy list. That way it can be assured that random people can't stalk other members.

I had to disable Who's Online because it ended up being called We Stalk (our boards are called We Talk).

I think your board has far more serious problems than Who's Online if your members are stalking each other...

Back off on the judgements. You don't know my board, or the people on it.

Its not that they are stalking, its that people get paranoid about it. Its an easy feature and I think would increase peoples trust in the boards if people could only see where they are if they explicitly give them permission via their buddy list.
