Hi there Sozzled 

You've been very helpful with your advice on the Joomla Forums, 
and I discovered your Forum after researching issues I was having with the Kunena
on their forums, anyway, I know you are the right person to offer me some good advice, 

I was reading your 2015 post 'A Tale of 2 Forums' and it made me ask the question myself 
if maybe I should look for alternatives in the first place which could solve my issue  - I was unaware of any alternative forum products 

Q1 - So if you were to do a quick review of Kunena 6.0.11 (the latest) also running Joomla 4.3.1 (also the latest) 
         would you recommend I stick with Kunena or is Chronoengine still comparatively better ( judging by the scores you gave them in 2015 ) ??

one main issue that seems to be a problem with Kunena is
when I'm online the Profile status does not seem to update

I'd like users to know if other members are online - it can look like a ghost town despite many 'guests' online 
I'm not sure why the Joomla 'Whos Online' module correctly displays # Members + guests online,
but yet the Forum will display differently -   ' 0 Members &  # guests online ' which seems inaccurate
 
this may make sense as maybe because they are not currently in the Forum section of my site
except that when I am viewing the Forum section it still will not change my status
and my profile will say 'Offline' ... even when I try to choose 'Online' 

I really wanted to integrate the Kunena user profile/info with the Joomla user component 
and in some way I have, I do not want to have to choose between either, I'd like both 

which is a shame 

Q2 - is there something I'm not doing right regarding Forum member online status, is there a solution?
(I'm not committed to Kenuma if there is a better alternative - I've disabled my 'privacy badger' in case but still no joy )  

- Thanks in advance :)
