been ____ for _ minutes by saralk on 09-06-2004 at 06:27 PM
i think in the contact information dialogue, it should tell you how long the certain contact has had his status as it is for.
For example, if the guys status is away
Contact has been away for 15 minutes
and if you signed in when they had that status
Contact has been away for over 15 minutes

I like that idea 
... Just curious, like say this: 
SeAn has been online for 5 hours 36 min 14 sec
or like:
SeAn has been (status) for 5 hours 36 min 14 seconds
Is that what you mean? If so, I'd say I would like it

or maybe msg plus could monitor these information locally at the person's computer that is away 
and then if they have it set! Their Plus will communicate with your plus telling you that the user has been inactive for exactly XX hours XX minutes and (possibly) XX seconds.
Of course you'd need an option in msg plus settings for this as some users might not want this information given ! but i think its a great idea 
be handy in knowing how long they've been away and whether to bother to talk to them or not 
!! Hopefully lots of people agree with me

the time is already displayed. so maybe in a new version or patch can be used to calculate the difference

i guess that would be a good idea, but probably too hard to implment.

.I agree it would be a nice feature however, you have to consider the fact that you have toleave your Messenger running to know that kind of info. I'll try to do something for the next version.

i leave my messenger running all day, but really it has the same innacuracies as the "last seen online feature" but i still find that a very useful feature.
