How about a little menu to set your status. A lot of members here keep the DP window open all day and quite often I might nip down the street to go to the bank or whatever but I'd like to be able to leave my status as away so if people PM me they don't just think I'm ignoring them. Could this work?
After 15 minutes you are shown as not bring online. Plus if someone is REALLY worried about it, they can look at your profile, and it will tell the exact minute they last had some activity.
The master has spoken! I will desist now! I suppose if I was really really worried I could just put a status in my sig.
You can also logout immediately (and not show in the active users even for 15 minutes) if you click the "Log Out" link.
Man that aint cool, telling everyone about that. When I asked you for the advice I told you it was confidential that I was PMing cute_lara abasi.
