O.P. Signing-in as 'Away Idle'
I've noticed somethin funny with a few of my contacts..... if someone can enlighten me as to why this is happening it'll be great.
These contacts sometimes sign-in as 'Away Idle', and then after a minute or two change their status to 'Online'.
I know for a fact that these people did not previously sign out due to a connection problem or other reason which made msn sign out automatically (cuz i know that if this happens while the contact is at 'Away Idle' status, he/she will sign back in as 'Away Idle' when the connection is back and msn signs in automatically again).
Since you can't select 'sign-in as Away Idle' I'm really confused as to why this is happening....
cheers

No, I don't think the users concerned use a patch.

This is simple, if u use ur brains.
If u appear offline and leave ur computer for 5 mins ur status automaticly chages to away/idle(as per ur preference).

RE: Signing-in as 'Away Idle'
Actually, this could be a problem with the servers, although it may easily be a bug

I don't think it could be a problem with server cuz even i left my computer idle while appearing offline. When I came back my status was 'Idle'

O.P. RE: Signing-in as 'Away Idle'
in relation to my original queston I don't think it's a case of the user having set 'appear offline' and then switching back later on.
