I would like to place an online/offline indicator on my web pages to let my friends and family know when I am available to chat. I am aware that Instant Messenger icons are available but this is unsatisfactory for me because I don't use any other than the BraveNet Quick Mailer. Is there such an animal or could one be developed for the BraveNet Hosts?

Online indicators work in interactive services by detecting when you log on to and log off from that service.

Unless you add a facility to your web site that permits you (and perhaps others) to log on and off from the site there is no way for the site to know if you are online or not.

Ah, that is what I need... That facility that allows my visitors to know if I am indeed onlne.
