Is there a way to see who is online here?

1 Answer

Answer :

[mod says:] No, there isn’t. We have discussed this in threads previously, but most people seem to prefer their privacy. A good way to find out who is online is by seeing who is “composing” on a thread or by checking into the chat room, where people often hang out while they are Fluthering. Also, you can PM (private message) someone if you want to know if they are online at the moment.
