Dear Patchou,

In the personalized status, also put an option of *Online*, *Be Right Back* in addition to *Away* and *Busy* which are already there. *Be Right Back* is better than away in cases as you are in shower, having dinner, out for 10-15 minutes .. *Online* is good if you are at your PC and watching TV at the same time. Having Away and Busy status only lets the people go away without messaging you. The contacts can know better by looking at your nick and personalized status in their contact list.

It has been discussed already in the thread below:

Plus, if internet disconnects while having a personalized status e.g. *Sleeping* it should return to the same no matter after how many hours, minutes messenger reconnects.

I was at office and personalized status on home PC was AWAY *Office*, but somehow my internet disconnected & when i came home, noticed my status online & lots of people had their messages :( Tested it several time, Sometime returns to personalized status but online other times. There used to be feature in older versions that you could have time set for your personalized messages. When messenger reconnects it would switch to personalized status after the time you specified. I didn't really understand the time option present in the latest one, please explain if you can.

Hope you consider improving the above features.

Best regards,

Hiqbal

I agree that Personal Status feature should be redesigned and enhanced, but I'm not quite sure if this gonna happen any time until the next big release, because we have just gotten the brand new version :/

I made a thread about it as well http://shoutbox.menthix.net/showthread.php?tid=63788&page=1 :$

I just discovered today that the "Show me as away when inactive for # minutes" on my WLM doesn't work at all! I went to bed, forgetting to sign off and came back to a bunch of confused messages.

I would be very, very grateful to see this implemented at some point :)

I also would like to see the status reset hotkey back. I liked it since I could return from my personalised status with one key combination. Now, I always have to open a Windows Live Messenger window and set my status to Online manually, and I'm too lazy for that. |-)

But, take your time to do it, since we all know you're working hard on the new Plus! Live. :)
