I'm talking about one-on-one chats while not in the chatroom. You do know on your profile, right above "request [insert name here] as friend" there is a "request a chat" link, right? My idea is that if I'm writing and I'd rather not deal with a million chat requests, or if I have to leave the computer for a moment, I can simply go to my profile and select "away" and if a chat request goes through, that person will recieve the automatic response of "[insert name here] is away" or something similar. That way people know that I'm busy at the moment, and not being a jerk and ignoring them. Maybe that wasn't clear in my original explanation, I apologize for that.
You mean like in Yahoo Messenger, right? You can set your "Away" status.
Yeah it would be a cool idea having something like that instead of just blocking everyone.
Exactly! That's what I mean Rocco.
Thanks Bike!
I just feel like a jerk when I have to leave the computer for a bit, and someone PMs me looking for a chat, and I don't have any way to tell them that I'm not able to talk at the moment.
If you are not going to be available for chat it's just as easy to block all or leave the site than any other nonsense.
Jeez it was just an idea fystee
I know....I was just giving my opinion that's all.
I think it’s a wonderful idea - and Fystee why are you so negative? I’m not trying to be rude, but you sound angry - and Lydia is just sharing an idea.
I am not angry and I didn't mean to sound negative....I was just sharing my opinion.
I was just saying that I think it is just as easy to turn your settings to block all if you don't intend to be around for a bit.
Sorry if I sounded bitchy or rude. I certainly wasn't intending to be.3FfRriFbuJd9WWze
@lydiababy6969 This is a great idea. I'll add something to the profile section next week hopefully.
So if your 'Away' you would not expect to get any chat requests in right?
Sounds like a great idea to me!

Bunny Rabbits cute and fuzzy they want to love you but they have razor sharp teeth - don't piss them off! We have three votes for the timestamps feature.
Thats three more than usual, so i'll add it in!
Can I suggest a new feature too? Displaying images. I a chat window, I copy in a url to an image, rather than show the link, I show the image instead? Obviously it would be limited in size.
i like these ideas it more like AOL/Yahoo/MSN instant messaging! i agree with ll of them! lol
Yeah, maybe a two inch image on the side or something. We'd have to make a firm rule about not breaking site rules, too.
Or else the chatter gets tossed out the window.
I just want to know when people send things to me so I dont go and try to help people 8h later... when it's all solved.
Customer: "I would like a big mac and a quarter cheese"
Catnip: "Would you like timestamps with that?"
You should see an online/away link next to the "Welcome back..." message in the header.
I seem to have a problem with the formatting the timestamp on the chat window, i'll need to fix this up later.
Let me know if you see any problems.
