Open the skins_site/def/styles/content.css file and locate the following code starting around line #183 and remove the background URL's shown in the brackets, you should probably also change the padding-left: 17px; to padding-left: 0px;

/* ONLINE/OFFLINE ICON NEXT TO EVERY USER NAME */

.member_link {
   background: url('../images/member_offline_medium.gif') no-repeat top left;
   padding-left: 17px;
}

.is_online .member_link, .member_online {
   background: url('../images/member_online_medium.gif') no-repeat top left;
}


If you also don't want it show when a user is online on their profile pages, open the skins_site/def/profile.html file and locate and remove the following lines of code starting at around line #16  ...

   <!--opt name="output.is_online"-->
   <p id="online_stat">{output.user} is online now!</p>
   <!--/opt name="output.is_online"-->

I'm not clear which news feed you're talking about, the news feeds presently displayed on the main page, or the "Admin Site News" displayed on the user's home page, in any case I'll try to address both.

I can't offer too much help with the news feeds displayed on the main page because I never used it have it disabled on my sites. By default the source of the news feeds comes from http://feeds.feedburner.com/OriginalSignal/tech, Google has since taken over Feed Burner, if you go to feedburner.com it now takes you to a Google page where you can login and manage your feeds. I don't know how it works because I don't use it but you can create an account and find out more about it.

You can change the source of your news feeds in the admin by going to "Features and Options" and scroll down to "Widget: Original Signal Tech Feed" and add the source link to the news feed that you want.

You can also edit the title of "Original Signal Tech Feed" to anything you want in the Admin by going to "Skin Settings" and clicking "translate" and scrolling down to Key string #212.

The news feeds on the main page aren't an Etano in-house thing, they are like most feeds which means they are fed from a third party source, such as blogs and news sites.

You can change the number of feeds that are displayed by editing the number of stories in the widget which is located in the skins_site/def/index.html file
<!--widget="osignal_feed(array('module_code'=>'osignal_feed','area'=>'front','num_stories'=>4))"-->

 In regards to the wrong date showing, if this is happening when creating "Admin Site News" the problem may possibly be with your host's server time stamp, this issue is typically related to the unix timestamp where any invalid date gets converted to 1st Jan 1970.  I've never come across this issue before and really have no idea what to suggest other than searching the net for possible causes or contacting your host.

 "Admin Site News" isn't like the news feeds on the main page, it's meant for the admin to write news bulletins for it's site members. You can't modify the admin site news so members can also write news, to accomplish something like that would require developing an entire new feature.

You can change the number of admin site news feeds that are displayed by editing the number in the widget which is located in the skins_site/def/home.html file
<!--widget="site_news_feed(array('total'=>3))"-->

It's possible to display the Site News on the main page by placing the above widget code in the skins_site/def/index.html file, it should be placed directly below the osignal feed widget, but you may need to do some CSS to make it appear the way you want.

If you're familiar with using Twitter maybe something like a Twitter News Feed on your main index page could made to be a suitable substitute. There's a free Twitter News Feed mod available here ... http://www.maverickwebworks.com/free.html

I learned something this evening. If ou have the same issue I do, then when you are in the admin section and hit browse all members it shows you 10 users and when you click page 2 for example, it goes back to the search page instead of displaying the next 10 members. But what I discovered is that if you click on members and you see the search windows where you can eneter various search criteria, click search there without entering any criteria. Now you can hit page 2 or 3 in my case or presumably any page if you have more than 3 ( I don't). This helps me out tremendously, because although it's a little painful, at least I can get at the members.

Hope this helps you.

All of the issues that you are having are related to your cron jobs not working properly. This is by far the most common problem users have and the main cause of things not functioning properly.

Using cron/gen_blogs_full.php will make the blogs show up, and also if you go into the Etano Admin and select "Skin Settings" from the menu and "regenerate" your skin, it will update the user profiles and your search results should then appear. However this is just a temporary solution and the problem will continue to exist until you get your cron jobs working properly.

Cron jobs auto regenerates and updates user info and blogs about every 10 minutes. Either your crons are setup incorrectly or your host doesn't allow crons to be run that frequently (every 10 minutes).

First make sure that your cron jobs are set at */5 * * * * and not 5 * * * *

This short hand */5 * * * *
Stands for: “Every Five Minutes”   “Every Hour”  “Every Day”   “Every Month”   “Every Week Day”

I can't offer much help with trying to run cron jobs from a third party service such as setcronjob.com but one thing is you will need is a premium account with them since their free service only allows crons to be run every hour which won't work for Etano.

If you can't get a third party cron service to work, your best bet is to get your site hosted on a server that allows you to run cron jobs that will work with Etano. You can try hostforweb.com or try contacting  "HyerGrnd" in the forums who provides hosting for Etano and will assist with the crons if need be.

The cron jobs do various things at different time intervals, which can be anything from clean up jobs to updating info, cron tasks run anywhere from 5 minutes to monthly. The main purpose of cron jobs is to distribute the load for various tasks and keep the site running efficiently. Things such as blog and profile updates run every 10 minutes, which means the info could be updated anywhere from 1-10 minutes depending when the info is submitted and when the scheduled cron job is ready to run again.

You can try reading this thread and see if any of the info is helpful ... http://forum.datemill.com/general/strange-result-cron-job-2884.0.html
