Buddy Alerts

Post by Master Jedi »

In AIM there are 3 kinds of buddy alerts. 1) signs on 2) comes back from idle 3) comes back from away. If I enable all the alerts for 'User1' and User1 is away and idle, then when User1 is no longer idle I get an alert, which is stupid because User1 is still away so I can't talk to User1 anyway. I think it would be great if I could get an alert 'when user becomes available' (not idle or away).

Ok...I think that makes sense but it probably doesn't.

Thats not what I meant. Sometimes User1 might be idle but not away, so I'll want to know when User1 is no longer idle. Other times he might be both idle and away; in that case, I want to know when he's neither idle nor away.

There is no way to fix your problem because i know of idle hacks or a trick that allows someone to put a little yellow scroll next to sn wen their not actually away.

I know of them too, but they mess up the regular AIM alerts anyway. I just want it fixed for the people on my list and everyone else's that don't do that (all of them).

Why does it matter, you rarely have to go into it anyways. :-?
