Trello – Meaning of Colored Badges on Avatars

trello

My avatars have little little colored boxes in the lower right corners, sometimes yellow or green. Under the Members list I also have a blue box – I guessed this was an "owner" indicator.

I didn't see anything about these in the documentation.

If you hover your mouse over the little boxes, you'll see the following tooltips:

Blue: "This member is an owner of this board" (or organization)

Green: "This member is online and viewing Trello"
Yellow: "This member is idle. They have Trello open but are not looking at it"
Gray: "This member is offline"

So in the image above, top left user is active. Top right users is an owner, and is idle (or away). And the two users on the bottom are board members who are not currently logged on to Trello (inactive).
