Change the idle timeout period in iChat
Does anyone else have this problem? When I wake my computer from sleep, ichat always changes my status to "available", even though my preferences say to leave my status as idle. Anyone have a solution?

Idle means you are not using your computer. You become idle after the idle timeout period, which is by default 10 minutes. If you wake your computer from sleep, move your mouse, or press a key, you're using your computer, so your idle status goes away. Use away if you want to tell people you are busy or not available. I guess you could set your idle timeout to something like 1 second so if you wake your computer from sleep and don't touch it, it'll go right into idle mode, but I don't think that's a good idea.

yeah, you've obviously misplaced "idle" and "away". you have to log off of aim before you put your computer to sleep. or, as an emergency, pull your plug before waking it up.

click ichat -> preferences -> general -> when i return to my computer, if i set status to away -> either click ask what to do or keep my status as away. |
