MSN Away

[Ewan]

Oh look, what a surprise, Ewan is making a tech support thread!

Anyway, it's nothing major, just more of an annoyance. My msn is set to go "away" automatically after 5 minutes, which it does with no problems. But normally (on every other computer I've used, including my own upstairs) your status is returned to normal when you move the mouse or press a key or whatever. This computer doesn't do that though, it stays on "away" until I physically set it back. Any ideas?

.. what if you're not away after 5 minutes, then it's said ur away when ur not...

go download MSN Plus (patchou) and Mess Patch (mess.be)

note: if you got msn version 7.0 and set your status too "away" then you can send unlimited nudges Really frustrating!

Ah sorted it, it was because I had both the MSN option to go away after 5 minutes, and the MSN+ option, and I guess they conflicted somehow.

My other threads still remain unsolved though.
