Q: The online status ("green dot") seems to never be on for my own username, why?

A: The "green dot" is never shown for your own username as it will be always on — as you are always online when checking it. So it has been decided to conserve the screen space and bandwidth and never show it for the player's own username. On the same subject, did you know that the light inside your fridge isn't always on? :)
