Does this allow a user to enter a 'status' which can, preferably, be viewed on every page.


Most good community sites have them. Some have defined options (e.g. msn messenger: online, busy, away).
Most suitable for a generic XOOPS module would be a configurable status where you can enter anything (e.g. facebook.com).

I am not sure if any XOOPS module does this?

Does this module do this? Any that do?

Cheers.
