because sometimes you might be offline but the green icon will not turn black and it can stay green for up to two hours or more before it can finally changed to black.This is the case, it's like there is an extended time after your last activity (forum access, clicks, posts, etc.) for your account to consider as offline. But your account will be offline only if you logout your account as it also will logout all the session in every device you logged in.
Mine too is always online but it's not I basically leave my account and just close the browser without logging out but right for the sake of this topic I tried to logout and it seems if you log in and you set it to forever without logging out later your account is always online.Indeed this is also what I observed , because checking my account in other browser even if I have closed that browser yet my account is still online but when i tried log out my account even without closing that browser? yes my account Green box have turned blank .
I tried it just now I logged out and suddenly the green on the left side is gone you can also try it and use incognito mode to check your own profile.
But your account will be offline only if you logout your account as it also will logout all the session in every device you logged in.I did not know that logging out from one device would log us out from every other device as well. I will try this. Yeah, you are right, I did try I logout out from mobile, and the session from my laptop automatically logged out. This is not good, as it can become frustrating for those who log in to their accounts on different devices.

Or you can just clear the browser's cookie only for altcoinstalks.com for you to logout.
Someone told me that my profile is showing always green like I am always online and available in forum, but that is not true because I don't keep my browser always opened.
What does green square in my profile means, that I am logged in, or that I am online in forum?
I've not gone through other user's comment to find this out, but if the feature is not already available in user's profile setting, then it's a good idea, and I support it, user's should have the liberty of deciding when to let other user's know that they are online or not.
I would like this to be hidden in settings if possible, like in other forums.

I know you are a developer but how! What's the secret ;D I get one thing spending time, and learning the way things work, gives you an idea of how the forum works.
