Topic: hi5 Supporter Program

The hi5 Supporter Program just went live :-)

If you'd like to show your support for hi5, and also have an ad-free browsing experience, please become a hi5 Supporter!

How it works: Use your hi5 coins to buy a hi5 Supporter subscription (use the link above, or under Account). Supporters will have all those annoying ads removed from their hi5 browsing experience. You'll also get a hi5 Supporter badge on your profile pic (check my profile to see what it looks like -- I just became a Supporter).

Looking forward to the feedback, as always.

I'm a hi5 supporter now! Please add display of the hi5 supporter badge centered above or below the picture which appears next to group posts. I think this will help give the program more visibility & prestige.

It looks to me as if there's room for three small icons below the group posts picture. As long as you're adding the support badge, also consider adding a small "online now" icon (if they are online and subject to their privacy settings, of course) and an envelope for sending them a message. You already have both of those features implemented on profile pages, so it could be as easy as adding the icons and linking them to the existing code.

These features are already supported, for efficiency just maintain a cache of the answers which is updated on login/logout events, one row per logged-in user (or group member). Since there are only ten replies displayed at a time that's at most ten queries.

(Ten queries which are being performed now to get their picture & username, just make them return the other information at the same time.)

to check if the person is online, it should not use caches.. otherwise, a person that goes inactive (offline), will continue online in all your session...

How does that work? I assumed you were "online" until you log out. That seems to be the way it works for my online status.
