  hmmm, my partner is showing red in the game, he must be in a match.
  I wonder who he is playing?  Wouldn't it be nice if you could click on a
  player's profile page, and see who he is playing with, might look like this:

  It's not necessary that he is in a game, everybody can simply choose to turn on the red light, I usually turn it on if I'm reading or writing in the forums, or if I decide to take a smoke break. I'm only green when I actually want (or have enough time) to play in a multiplayer game.

  Warren, Just because he/she is red does not mean he/she is in a game. I often put myself as "busy" or red, because I sometimes get too many invites to play and get annoyed. But yes I agree it would be nice to click on a "friend" and see how they are doing. Wake

  Hi Warren, I assume "your partner" was playing with you and got booted or left the game that you were playing. Sometimes when I or my partner has been booted the profile remains red (and cannot get back for some reason),  so is nessasary to close all windows to return. Like Puholino, if I am at work or am busy with other things I just turn red, or stay invisible as I know I cannot play a multi player game.

  But in essence it would be nice to see who your friends are playing with but I think there are many other issues/bugs which need to be addressed first

  No, no.  The whole point of this post is this... what if I wasn't playing with anyone, but in my friends list I see that Harve is red.  So I click on his name, and his profile page comes up.  Then I could see who he is playing with, and what hole they are on.

  Ah ok, like I said nice idea but I personally think there are many other issues which need to be addressed. Also it will not help if I am red and not playing. But it would be nice to have a customized Status (not the one on your profile page - one that can be changed in My Status on your friends list) - such as At work etc and a missed invites list etc etc, all which have been asked for time and time again.
