So I got this big pimpin buddy list, filled with all like 3 of my friends. Problem is, I never bother to go and check it - if I wanna know if one of them is online, I just read through the "Currently online users" box down at the bottom of the index page.

Is there some way to make the usernames down there stand out (similar to the way junior/senior members and mods do) if they're on your b-list? Or have the buddy list as a floating pane (if possible, include an option to disable the floating pane for those who don't use buddy lists) that displays who's currently online & offline?

It seems like it has a lot of potential as a small instant messenger, but we don't really need an instant messager. Just a more robust online indicator. Well, we don't really need that either - just a couple q's.

If I had any semi sold knowlegde of PHP I would give it a shot myself, but I neither have the know-how nor the time to do it.

I agree that it would be useful, but apparently no one else in the vBulletin community seems to think so as there is no such thing yet as far as I can tell.
