MyStatus is a status plugin that adds a feature like that in IPB3. I don't believe I've ever seen a plugin like it for MyBB save for as part of other profile mods. It allows users to enter a status update from their profile then submits it via AJAX and displays it in said user's profile and posts.

This plugin is in very early development though - I have only just finished creating a base PHP file to do the actual status submissions - I plan to convert it to work with MyBB tomorrow then have a test version running on my own site the next day. I'll keep you guys updated with a first release before the end of the week - that is, if people would like such a plugin (I don't believe there is one already though...)?

Sounds awesome.

Neato you should use these images.

What for? Anyway, I have status updating working flawlessly with AJAX posting of statuses and everything. I do, however, need to know how long statuses should be? I currently have the length set at 50 characters (it can't be an ACP option I don't believe - unless I can edit databases on settings saving, but that's for another day) but it seems a tad short.

Also, I'll have screenshots ready to go tomorrow for anybody interested

Earlier than promised, but I ave some screenshots. Stills don't really show off the AJAX/jQuery goodness, but you can see the basic system. Of course, its completely template based so you can customise containers and everything to your liking from the ACP

Got a version up for testing on my live site. You can see the statuses as a guest, but can only see the editing interface as a member. Expect a full first release either later today or tomorrow

Looking forward to testing it.

I saw this plugin in testing over at xTremes site XTreme Arcade - it looks really cool and seems to work well. Looking forward to it

MyBB 1.6 & XThreads

The first version is already released here at MyBBSource It's still under active development though.

Thanks euantor - I downloaded and its very cool - thanks.

One small thing - is it possible to make the status text wrap in the classic postbit? There is no limit on the number of characters that I can see (and thats not a bad thing) but as a result LONG statuses stretch the classic post bit.

I was looking at this php function here (see link) but I was unsure on how to go about modifying it (for only my own use of course) and I also think perhaps other users would like this option.
