O.P. Not changing status to Idle
After getting the new messenger and msg plus beta for wlm 9, I notice my status doesn't change to "Idle" automatically after 10, and the option is checked in my options menu. I also tried changing it to 5 minutes and still doesn't work. It use to work before I got this new messenger with plus. Thanks!

Did you download the compatible version of Plus! Using the small link below the big blue button?

Also do you have the option checked in Messenger Plus! Live preferences under 'Messenger' to show contacts as Idle instead of Away?

RE: Not changing status to Idle
Hello!

I'm experiencing a similar issue using WLM 09 Build 14.0.8050.1202 and MP! 4.80.0.356.

Contacts appear as (Away) in my contact list however when I right click the contact --> MP! Features --> Contact Information --> Last events, it will be listed that the person has become idle at such and such time.

Anyway to fix this? I've done a reinstall but to no avail

edit: i'm on windows xp sp3

You cant see the idle status in your contacts' list, You can only see it when you get your mouse on the contact's nickname. I dont know it it can be solved by changing something in Plus! settings though.

This is a limitation in Messenger 2009. "Idle" is not displayed in the contact list but only in the contact's tooltip. Sorry about the inconvinience.
