Circles in the bottom-left of posts?

Hi all,
I'm new here and I was just wondering what the circle at the bottom left of every post is for.
Is it just a design thing or is it supposed to be some kind of button?

If it is green the poster is online - if it is red then they are offline0

Hi there, blazemore,
It's to let you see whether the member is currently on MSE - it shows green if they are, red if they aren't.

Hover your mouse over it, it will then inform you in text.
Mine is bluey/grey,(offline), and green, (online), no reds.

That's great thanks for that. I'm colour-blind with green and red so I couldn't see that they were different!0
