@M G Harish, I didn’t know that part. When I tried it was working so I didn’t knew that we have to set the online status in the profile. Thanks for mentioning.

@Nirmal, Yeah showing the online status in forums will cause problems. I think the chances are less for misuse if you show only in your blog as majority of the traffic will be from search engines and regular readers and not from people who are looking to market their products through mails.

I would prefer not to show my yahoo status. I had this terrible experience when I joined a forum and gave my Yahoo ID. People from the forums started sending mails and all fwds. And your suggestion to create a new ID looks ok, but then difficult to manage all.

Although it is handy piece of code, it suffers a serious drawback. The user must have enabled a setting show his online status in his yahoo profile for this code to work properly. Unfortunately, it seems that it is set, by default, to hide the status…
