I'm trying to be serious about this...and have yet to receive an administrators post on this topic.

The very first reply you received, from Miulang, answered your question. Further, a simple search would have turned up the previous thread on this question immediately -- the thread with which your redundant thread has now been merged.

An entry on this has been added to the FAQ.

Whats that light next to our name?

Hey HT veterans, whats that green sometimes purple light next to our screen names? can that be edited? or does it come like with a rank or something?

If it's a green light that means you can cross the crosswalk...

Red light... get off the computer immeditately!

Just kidding... I asked the same thing a few months ago....I forgot the exact meaning...but I know it has something to do with your "online" status.

You missed the chicklet days

Green means that the user is on-line.
Purple means that the user is off-line or have chosen not to be known as being on-line.
There is another color, red I think which only applies to your username, which means you have made the setting not to be known on-line.
