Usually the live indicator flashes Green
When its flashing red, is a player disconnected or "account closed"
TheGrobe
I believe that red means that the player is currently in Live Chess.
Mainline_Novelty
ed means the player is inactive in live chess or was there in the last 10 min.
Thanks guys

Actually.... Green indicates that the player is in both live AND the main part of the site. Red means that they are ONLY in Live Chess.
Any chance of getting this indicators on the mobile platform as well so that I can tell if my opponent is online? I'd also love to be able to review a position on my Blackberry when it's not my turn -- currently the game is simply not available.
An indicator of when a player is live from a mobile device for members on the site itself would also be great exposure for the mobile platform -- perhaps the green radio tower icon with the word "Mobile" instead of "Live".
