I know....double post, but I wanted my answer to stay close to Patchou's reply, I was getting lost going back and forth.....lol
Patchou...I hear what you mean about having Messenger disconnect, and understand, but know this is not what is happening, simply because I do not allow automatic sign in, if they had signed me out or lost the connection it just sits there with me signed out. I thought I HAD enabled the personalized away too..(I really like Plus! by the way). I guess what I need to ask is this...if I change my status to 'away', it should stay like that until either signed out or I change it myself...RIGHT?!?!?!? *sigh*...don't know if this is well explained without you actually seeing what it is doing.
thanks for your help at any rate
