 * Hello,
 * I appreciate you giving credit to the original authors, but putting them in the
   _Authors_ field in readme.txt is not the right way to do it. It gives the impression
   that we endorse it.
 * A more appropriate way of giving credit would be to write something like this
   in the description:
 * Based on the [WP-UserOnline](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-useronline/)
   plugin.

 * [@porl](https://wordpress.org/support/users/porl/): get_author_email() is deprecated:
   [http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/the_author_email](http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/the_author_email)
   
   Open ./wp-content/plugins/mingle-users-online/core.php and at line 45 change:`
   $avat = get_avatar( get_author_email(), '30' );` with: `$avat = get_avatar( the_author_email(),'
   30' );` – Now it work 😉
 * –
    Edit: also line 46 is badly. It show bloghomepage/NickName instead to show/
   author/userslug.
 * This plugin is bugged.
