Someone came in IRC yesterday and wanted to know how to add the time until they return into their auto-away message.  I thought it would be easy, remembering Plus! 2, so popped up an auto-away window to give specific instructions, but there was nothing there   Neither was it on the list of commands and tags.  We assumed the feature was gone, then found it hidden away in the personalised status tutorial.

In a new version which is supposed to make things easier to use, shouldn't there be some coverage of the (!PS_...) tags?  Without them it kinda defeats the point of the come-back field being there.

Thanks

Well lobster, the tag is still in the tooltip, and the tooltip is still there in the personalised status window. Check the "Will be back" checkbox, and move your cursor over the Time box...and wait - long enough, the tooltip takes two seconds or three to show.

It should show a fancy, instant tooltip, IMO. People are not gonna look for the tooltips. If they don't see it, they don't use it.

The least that can be done is mention it in the list of tags and commands, that's what it's there for.

I removed it from the window to make it look more clear and user friendly. Most people dont care about the tiem tag and are happy with the time being automatically added at the end of the message .
