I have already Deen what you put together and its great, the main thing is it works ... You can always work on making it look pretty ... Good job.
I thought about putting it in the legend or header with multiple .phps but the thought it would look better if each person status was displayed under their info box, so you can see their status under any post they have made.
The problem is I can't work out how to have the script do it. I could create a custom profile field and pull it from there but my knowledge is limited too.
