you shouldn't be marked as automatically away, but only idle. can you be a bit more specific?

trillian sets you as 'idle' after you dont talk for a while. but only away if you do it yourself.

yeah that is right "idle" I meant
I would like to have a fixed status all the time. (available all time on all 4 instant messengers, and not idle if possible)
thanks

check out the preferences area. there's options there that say

"Set me idle after X minutes of activity"

you can just change that to some obscenely high number. once we re-add the idle timer (v0.64), everything will be consolidated to a single area and much easier to control!

The highest it will go is 99. At least the last time I looked. http://www.ceruleanstudios.com/ubb/smile.gif

1874919423 mins for yahoo
1410065407 mins for msn
9999999 mins for icq/aim
not bad if that would work for the moment :-)
