### Description

Recently, upgraded from 0.74 to 3.10. I can see that users can now set custom statuses but I can’t see where they appear in the UI once set. Is there an additional layout setting needed or can I add in something to make them more prominent. Users were changing their profile names to something relevant (e.g. “Richard - Gone to get tea”) but that seems to take the DB and Node CPU’s to 100% so I’ve disabled that for now.

Any ideas?
