Green square means they are logged into Chess.com (online)
Orange square means they are in live chess playing.
A colored square next to my avatar?
Sort:
Green=online
Orange=playing in live chess.

So... if Green=online and Orange=playing in live chess, then not having both at the same time, but only orange one, means that they are not online (thus offline), but they still somehow playing live chess?
Or maybe orange means both of these, i.e. both online and playing live chess?

and how the hell do i know whether the person is offline or not? because it shows green all the time.
They haven't logged out if the green light is on, but may be away from their computer
no idea

What is a red square on the profile pic?
It's replacing the orange, so it means in live.
Yeah, I saw that.
Why was this created almost 9 years ago?

Because it was posted then 
I know, but why are we talking on this now? I just saw a red square, so I looked it up, but I wasn't expecting to see comments from a couple of hours before then.
Hi everyone, I'm Dennis and I've got a question about the colored square that's next to my picture and also next to some of my friends' pictures.
My question is simple: what is it, and what does it mean? Usually, the colored square is green, but I've seen it in at least one other color as well. I've found out this much: if a player (or in this case, my friends) has a colored square next to their picture, they're online. But as for what else they mean... I am clueless.
So, if anybody could help me out here, that'd be great! (Oh, and don't hesitate to challenge me for a chess game, I still have a lot to learn but people say that "One learns the most from losing a game, instead of winning." And I believe that claim.
