ICQ question
 

Hi all,

I wouldn't be asking this if I wasn't getting desperate!

I'd like ICQ to set me to N/A automatically after a certain amount of inactivity (easy) but I DON'T want to go back to Online automatically when I move the mouse (hard).

How do I make ICQ remain on N/A status even after I return to the computer? Sometimes I just want to use my computer for a minute without everybody knowing I'm back. Seems to me that would be very useful.


Thanks in advance!

Before you go away right click it and set the status to N/A

Are you SERIOUS?!?!?!?

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh it's just that simple.

I appreciate the help but that doesn't answer my question. I want ICQ to set me to N/A AUTOMATICALLY but I want to go back to Online MANUALLY.

Can this be done?

B

i know it's a lot of work, but stop being lazy :Graucho

LOL. I'm not lazy, just forgetful.

BUMP

Still praying for an answer. :(

B

As far as I know, N/A cannot be set automatically. Only 'Away'

Figure it out yet?

BUMP. This is the last time I'll bump this thread. I'm still hoping for an answer.

ANYONE? PLEASE?

Sorry Black Dog :(

The only way i know how to not make it pop back with the mouse movement is to set it manually to n/a before leaving

Why don't you contact ICQ?

If it's something that can be done, then they'd be the guys to know..

:2 cents: G'luck!

I've given up. I guess it can't be done. But thanks for the replies! The serious ones, at least.

use trillian Pro and it does exactly what you want.
