I think that you should incorporate a stay online feature for your status.  So it won't automatically go to away if you're inactive for the amount of time.  I think it'd be useful because if I'm set to away people don't usually message me.  Like if I went to the washroom or something.

I posted a poll for if people to say if they like it.

This is already and option in both Plus! and regular MSN.

Try going to tools > options > 'personal' panel and uncheck the option to "Show me as away when I am inactive for x minutes"

If that doesn't work, go to Plus! > Preferences > Generals Options Tab > Miscellaneous button and uncheck the "Automatically change status after a period of inactivity"

Hey and thnx for the reply.  I already know of that feature.  I just think it'd be more convenient to have it in the status menu for like if you were watching a movie...so you wouldn't have to change your settings everytime.

thnx,
Garett
