Idle/Away time stamp message? by Spring on 04-24-2010 at 01:32 PM

Hi there,

I just downloaded MessengerPlus Live and can't seem to find what I am looking for in the option settings.  I thought I would come here for some help.

How can make a time stamp appear next to my name when I go inactive?  For example:

User - (Idle since 5:16PM)

So when I automatically go away/idle people on my list can see how long I have been away from the computer and actually know I am not there.

That's not a native Plus! feature, but somebody did write a script to do it: Idle Time Display.

Thank you!! It works perfect.

Oh, you would think with all the countless features of Messenger Live Plus it would have this option.  But this is exactly what I wanted.  Thank you again.

I realise this thread is a couple months old but I thought I'd post anyway.

I made a script recently that does _EXACTLY_ what you asked for in your initial post, rather than a counter it displays the time that you started being 'away'.

I have had no feedback on this script yet and would really like to hear what anyone else thinks of it. It was meant for personal use but I uploaded it anyway.
