No green "online" indicators showing on opponent's avatars on daily games page

Hi all. Has anyone else noticed this, but on one's daily chess page under the "current games" section if ones's competitor is online it isn't showing a green square on their avatar photo. If one clicks on the game then only does the green online block show up in the right lower corner on one's competitor's avatar photo.

This only started happening I think this week. Well that's when I picked it up. Is anyone else also experiencing this?

I did pick up something strange. If I log off and then log in again the online indicators show up. HOWEVER if I refresh the page the online indicators disappear!!

Below is the section I am referring to (note this is a mobile website view using Chrome for Android as I am using my Samsung Note 5. I also tested with Firefox and it is the same):

1. View of page if I log off and then on again:

2. Now I refresh the page:

If I navigate away from the daily chess page and come back to it again the online indicators do not show up.

Anyone else experiencing this? One of my chess.com buddies Who accesses the site with a laptop is experiencing the exact same issues.

Yeah my buddy and I have seen the same thing for a long time. Time stamping of when someone was online is not accurate at all. Clearly something wrong there too. But this that I am reporting is new weird behaviour

  I just learned something from Martin in another thread. Those indicators will be different if you log in from the app.......as opposed to logging in on the website with a computer.

 

I'm not absolutely sure that is the case, just suggesting it might be.

All I know is that both my friend using a laptop, and myself using an Android phone or an iPad have picked up that the "online" green squares no longer show up for your opponent in the daily chess page. If I log off then on again it shows once correctly...with a green block next to the opponent, but the moment I refresh the page or navigate away or come back it is broken and does no longer show if one's opponent is online...at the spot I showed higher up in my screenshots. The issue is not just on mobile. My friend using a laptop reports the same behaviour. So there is a problem on the daily chess page.
