O.P. difference between 'idle' and 'away'?
Hi all :)

was just wondering whats the difference between idle and away statuses?

Some of my contacts are idle, and the other are 'away'.

RE: difference between 'idle' and 'away'?
away means that the users had set there status to away
idle means that they haven't touched there computer for a certain ammount of time* (normally 5 minutes, but can be changed. tools > options > show me as away when inactive for 'x' mins)


*idle however can be forced with a script, see here for details CookieRevised's reply to [REQUEST]Idle lies
