I've noticed that your and images are shown on the screen with exact URLs to that path, for example http://161.58.186.97/images/off.gif. That means that the server has to check that the user is online or offline before the page is loaded. I think it'd be better, quicker, and more efficient for the VBBrowser by Geoff_xrx or whatever his name is, if you linked to it like this:

http://161.58.186.97/status.php?user=Xenonic_Rob

And the PHP script would automatically redirect to the correct image. The pages would load quicker because the server would not be needing to look for the user's status BEFORE the rest of the page had loaded.

Just a thought.
