Idle Causes Old Away Message To Pop Up

Post by johnnyb »

Hello Folks,

Sorry if there is an obvious solution, but ever since I upgraded to 0.76 I have had a problem where when I went idle, my old away message that I had just put up has reappeared as my idle message. I have turned off and on the idle message setting and that seems to have no effect. I have also tried deleting the Adium files in the ~/Library/Preferences but I guess the information is not stored there. I would rather not delete all of my user information. Any advice?

Thanks for your help! Great program guys!

i was silly to forget this... ok... yes... go to status (prefrences--> status) then click the idle button.. then see if automaticly set away after * mins.. i checked.. if it is checked see if it says ... and use message: "last quick away"

if that is the way it is, then yes you will be getting old away messages poping up.. if u want to change it then click on the box, to make it unchecked :D

if this is not the fix.. then someone else will be along here shortly :D

Yeah, I am sorry I didn't look at that before, I never looked at that setting. I was focusing so much on the advanced setting which dealt with idle messages. I should have looked at everything more quickly. I haven't tested it out, but I think that should do it.

Thanks for your help. Sorry for wasting your time...
