Suggestion - Personalised Status In Conversation by michael_m91 on 09-16-2004 at 01:27 AM
First I wan't to let you know I searched the froum for, Personalised Status, and didn't find this.
I think that in a conversation if you type /away the personalised status window should appear.

No it shouldn't because /away and /online and /block are all Quick Texts, therefore when you are quickly setting your status its assumed you dont have time to set a personal status thus no window.

well, if u write /away <message> , u can make automagically an auto-message, and if u type /naway <status> , u can set a perso status too 
(these are only examples, u can use /nbusy , /nbrb, etc

Well if its asumed you dont have time then it'll be like the normal window, it counts down so if you don't have time you leave it. But some people like me have time but think its easier to type /away then to click away in Messenger. And thats why i would like there to be a Addition that pops up this window

This is actually quite a good idea, and one that I would use, as I can never remember which shortcut I use for which status.

Why open your contact list?
Right click on the Messenger icon works too

What the hell? What are you talking about? I don't see how that would work at all.

ermm, michael_m91... Chestah007 just explained why he supports your idea.
He always has the reflex to type /away in a conversation, but since that doesn't popup the personal away status window, he has to set his status back with /online, then going to the contactlist and there selecting "Away" from the menu to invoke the personal away status window.

I just don't know, why not use /persostat?

Oh lol, yeah... I just woke up.

And if you find /persostat to difficult to remember then set a QuickText. You can even overwrite the /away command with this
:QuickText: /persostat
Alias: /away
et voila... done....
(PS: hmmm, /persostat doesn't show up in the command help window)
RE: Suggestion - Personalised Status In Conversation by michael_m91 on 09-20-2004 at 10:52 PM
Sweet!!! I didn't know that you could type just /persostat nor did i know you could use /away as the alias
