Why? when some members little beacon shows they are logged on to chess.com do some flash green while others flash red. I'm concerned for those who flash red, are they in some kind of danger, is their computer about to explode? What gives?

the red means they are bleeding and will die if they don't get help.

wait, sorry, i just remembered. a regular green thingy means ONLINE, a red one that says LIVE means they are JUST on the live site. a GREEN one that says LIVE is active on LIVE site and the main site.

Well, while I have to admit I'm relieved that no one is in harms way, that is boring as h3ll erik. Though it does make perfect sense:) I thought it might at least mean something fun like they are on a red-hot winning streak!

there are countless icons we could theoretically add - kinda like mini-trophies :) interesting idea!

You should add a 2500 trophy for the first person to 2500 tournament points.

My only issue with that is that the next logical icon would be one for a losing streak, and being that I would have that icon up al the time, I think I'd get a bit frustrated... :-)

That would be neat... a winning streak and losing streak icon.. or maybe an icon you could choose to post yourself advertising 'overrated' and 'underrated'. I'd always have myself as 'overrated' :P.
