With the new website, I noticed that changing your status is not an option. Is that feature enabled?
It is an option to change your status here on the site but it works differently now. Look up at the VEEEEEERY top of the forum (the red bar on the default skin) to the left of Welcome and your username is a white space that says status. Update it there and it will update throughout the site.
Found it! I thought it was. Need a label or something.
