i think in the contact information dialogue, it should tell you how long the certain contact has had his status as it is for.

For example, if the guys status is away

Contact has been away for 15 minutes

and if you signed in when they had that status

Contact has been away for over 15 minutes

I like that idea ... Just curious, like say this: SeAn has been online for 5 hours 36 min 14 sec

or like:

SeAn has been (status) for 5 hours 36 min 14 seconds

Is that what you mean? If so, I'd say I would like it

Sean, that is a really good idea.  They have that for AOL, but since I use a good IM service, having this feature would be nice. 

or maybe msg plus could monitor these information locally at the person's computer that is away and then if they have it set! Their Plus will communicate with your plus telling you that the user has been inactive for exactly XX hours XX minutes and (possibly) XX seconds.

Of course you'd need an option in msg plus settings for this as some users might not want this information given ! but i think its a great idea be handy in knowing how long they've been away and whether to bother to talk to them or not !! Hopefully lots of people agree with me

the time is already displayed. so maybe in a new version or patch can be used to calculate the difference

i guess that would be a good idea, but probably too hard to implment.

I think that that would never happen. Patchou doesn't like Plus to communicate with other. (i think)

so true. In fact, if you look at the event window you can see when some one has changed his/her status from online to away and you know that since then s/he's away.

Very true, and for lots of reasons .

I agree it would be a nice feature however, you have to consider the fact that you have toleave your Messenger running to know that kind of info. I'll try to do something for the next version.

i leave my messenger running all day, but really it has the same innacuracies as the "last seen online feature" but i still find that a very useful feature.
