Status changing automatically, what?
Hello from Finland! I am sorry if I am using wrong terms about the
status names in the following question, but I am using a Finnish version of Windows Messenger so the terms are re-translated by my own. I am using Windows Messenger 5.1. Sometimes, without any visible reason, the online-status will automatically change to "busy" without changing it manually. I have noticed that this is somehow dependent on the checkbox telling Messenger to mark the user as being "away" if the computer (or the Messenger) has not been used for a time announced in the edit field besides the checkbox. If the checkbox is unchecked, then this changing of the status to "busy" will not happen automatically, the status will remain as it is set by the user all the time. Sometimes this unexpected change of status to "busy" has caused that some messages from other Messenger users will pass by when I am not hearing the message sound and I will not get to the computer and check if there are any messages waiting for some reaction from my side. And when i finally find the messages by accident, of course then the user that sent me the message(s) is offline or not able to answer for some reason. How will this mechanism of changing the status automatically to "busy" work, and how can I prevent the status to be changed without unchecking the checkbox about marking me as being "away" after a certain time? ---Jarkko--- |
