I tried that one and a bunch of other combinations, but nothing attempted thus far signifies to the other users that the Topic's Author is online any more than the fact that their status shows them to be online...which we already would know based on their online status.
I had my nephew, who is a programmer, look into it and while not a PHP coder he got a little further, he said the biggest problem is that he, like I, don't know what the condition name possibilities are. If we had those, we might be able to mimic the ELSE portion into the IF portion, so if TRUE, we could change the PM badge in a way that everyone could see. Then it would just be a matter of testing to see if the TOPIC AUTHOR was viewing the same title as, the one that they've authored and that we're also viewing. The badge change would be our indicator that we're both here, basically in a live chat session.
