Who do you think you are? There's no post prerequisite to start a support thread on these forums, and as far as I can see you're the only one "breaking the rules" by harassing another member. Let him be.

Redd, give this plugin a shot and let us know how it goes.

Does this only show users online avatar or also just names only?

It's a customizable plugin so you'll need to play with it a bit. Install it and look through its features and tell us if you have any questions.

Thanks got more questions but will ask them somewhere else scared to ask them here since all the negative reactions i got here dont want to be neg repped for questions. I appreciate your help though!


Edit: datplugin is not working Because sidebars are not showing i think its because its not compatible with 1.8 i changed the compatability though

Is this the code for online users{$onlinemembers} to put in sidebar?

Yes. However, from what I remember, {$onlinemembers} is only created in index.php, so make sure you'll only be using it there unless you want to reinstate it on another page.

I'm sorry for being a bit rude before.
Do not allow the eye to fool the mind.

I could be wrong, but edit "index_whosonline" and simply reverse the position of the two in the code.

I'm not exactly sure I'm following what you're saying. You can't just use a method if it doesn't have the function you need.

Taking a look at the default MyBB theme, go to index_whosonline. You should find code resembling this:
Code:
<tr>
<td class="tcat"><span class="smalltext"><strong>{$lang->whos_online}</strong> [<a href="online.php">{$lang->complete_list}</a>]</span></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="trow1"><span class="smalltext">{$lang->online_note}<br />{$onlinemembers}</span></td>


</tr>

Take a further look here:
Code:
<td class="trow1"><span class="smalltext">{$lang->online_note}<br />{$onlinemembers}</span></td>

{#lang->online_note}'s function is to show you this: 2 users active in the past 15 minutes (1 member, 0 of whom are invisible, and 1 guest).
{$onlinemembers}'s function is to show you which members are currently online.

Simply reverse the two functions in that line of code and it should look like this:
Code:
<td class="trow1"><span class="smalltext">{$onlinemembers}<br />{$lang->online_note}</span></td>

Save and refresh your forum, and your board stats for who's online should look like this:
