O.P. question about idle
Hi, I'm new here and I have some questions about Messenger Plus & Idle time...


Sorry if my English is bad...

Well, do you know after which time messenger or msn go to idle, how time must go to your status be idle?!


I'm intrested about Idle time for my contacts, not mine...

Does THAT idle icon, idle time for my contacts TRUE, does I can belive in that?


Tnx, and sorry if I miss the subforum for my question...

By default, if  the feature is enabled, a contact will go to idle status after 10 minutes. This can be changed with WLM's options.

Tnx for the quote...

Some my buddy's don't use or Messenger Plus! and some of them been shown me like Idle some not...

If some of them have just Windows Live Messenger and nothing else, and dont use them for 10 minutes, they should be shown like Idle?! I talk about not changing any options like WLM or other...

Do you understand me?! :D

RE: question about idle
Regardless of whether they have Messenger Plus Live or not they will still be shown as Idle if they have the option selected (which it is by default).

To people who do not have Messenger Plus Live, the status will only appear to be "Away".....Messenger Plus just allows its users to distinguish between Away and Idle.

I hope this answers your question

@djdannyp & meEtc tnx...

I just wonted to know how that works, and now I think that understand. :)

Idle after 10min. & WLM have default option to go Idle after that time & Messenger Plus! have option to recognize which is Idle & which is Away and must show if someone doesnt tipe anything for 10min like a Idle icon...


If I understand this good, this may go to lock. :D

Thanks u a lot... Best whishes...

RE: question about idle
Yeah, it seems that you have the hang of it

One small point though, Idle shows when the user has not touched their computer for [a default of] 10 minutes.

They could be doing other things on the computer but not using Windows Live Messenger and they would not go to Idle.

Idle occurs only if the user doesn't touch the mouse or keyboard for the default of 10 minutes.

RE: question about idle
there are two statuses that have the same name (Away and Away.) Messenger Plus! renames one of those two to "Idle."
