i am pretty obsessed with away messages:) i think they're always fun to read, i like to read ones that are funny. checking away messages isn't feasible, is it? there is the rate limiting situation, which, checking more than 5 or 6 at a time will make it limit you, and you have to wait your 1/2 minute or whatever the timeout is. i see this feature as being implausible, unless there is a way to get around rate limiting.

triple-click to access
What about simply having a faster way to access profiles, like triple-clicking on a screen name in the buddy list? Even if they'd still open in individual windows, I think it'd be a step up from right clicking and then mousing around to "Get Buddy Info" on the menu. Rate limiting wouldn't be a bigger problem than it already is.
...or is there already some better way that I've failed to pick up on?

I was unaware that there was a limit on checking profiles ??? I've never come across this.
Instead of having a separate window for away messages (would get annoying) I think having the away message displayed on mouse over would be good. Some how not with the other info though, on a separate little thing that pops up over to the left. Hmm I like this idea

Re: triple-click to access
You could just click on the screen name then click the info button (its fast enough for me) but i guess for some people thats not even fast enough (triple click hmmm....)Michelle Lee wrote:What about simply having a faster way to access profiles, like triple-clicking on a screen name in the buddy list?
