Change the online status image to plain text/css?

[Dragosvr92]

I know this has been discussed before, and i did wonder myself why all the language images were converted into plaintext and css, but the online status wasnt... I came across a site that had a Ribbon at 45degrees so i said i'd extract it and propose it over here.

The way it is now, with the online language image, seems hardcodded and messy, with two files inside a directory.
Its also still difficult to redesign an image for each style, when all the other buttons can be easily changed via css.

like the idea but it will have to wait for 3.3. can you make a ticket and pr for it?

Nice. Wait, what? I have never heard of a 3.3.x branch? Did you mistake it for 3.2?
It would be weird to wait for the 2nd major release. I could make a PR, but i would most probably implement it not so great.
More experienced devs may do it better, on their standards on what phpbb code should be like.

Why not do it for 3.2? CSS transform works even for IE9 with an -ms- prefix.

Yes please, can you remove that directory??

prs always go against the master branch it's essentially versionless. As for the change in 3.2. We are essentially feature frozen. At this point we should refrain from making any possible breaks to BC to ensure speed release and focus more on big fixing
