Offtopic: the iChat hack I REALLY want
Authored by: Septimus on Jun 28, '05 01:49:46PM

You know, the iChat hack I *really* want is displaying "away" buddies in the Menu item on the top. It only displays "Available" buddies. Several of my friends are teachers of middle school students and have to default to "Away" just to get some freaking peace and quiet. The result is I either have the iChat buddy window open or switch myself to Adium or Fire. Both are aggravating.

iChat: Away vs. privacy
Authored by: MJCube on Jun 28, '05 09:07:52PM

Can't they just use a privacy setting to allow only a 'whitelist' of buddies?
(Preferences > Accounts > Security > Allow specific people.)
Then they could be fully visible to you, and completely invisible to others.
I switch between this and the 'blacklist' option (Block specific people) all the time.
