Active/Inactive posters

Posters can either be set up as or edited to be active or inactive: 'Active' posters are available for users to see within the app/virtual platform, unlike those that are 'inactive'.

Note: When someone sends a chat message in the poster booth, the connected authors will receive this message also in their chats.
