Adium never goes idle...

Hi, i am a relatively new user, and I'm having a problem.

I've configured Adium to show my status as idle after 5 minutes, and Away after ten. However, my status never changes! I always appear as Avaliable / Online, even when I leave the keyboard for hours.

Any help?

Thanks and sorry for bad english.

Away and idle are not the same thing.

You need the option below the 'Let others know that im idle' option. Dont know what it is called in english.. :)

Yes, I'm using that option. Now I realize that an app I use called Caffeine (http://www.lightheadsw.com/caffeine/), prevents Adium to detect idle times.

It is possible to avoid that in any future version? The strange thing is that when I was using Microsoft Messenger app, Caffeine hadn't affected it in that way.

I hope my english is not too bad to understand! Thanks a lot

Your english is just fine. :)

I would contact the developer behind Caffeine and explain the problem. I would assume the problem is on their end?

Hi again! I've contacted the developer for Caffeine app, and this is his answer.

Hey Caifo,

There's no possibility of addressing it since Adium uses the same inactivity timer that Caffeine resets.

I guess it's not easy to change that on Adium :(

Thanks anyway!
