Is there any way to appear idle with the “Idle for: time” remaining and continuing its count? Thx.

Mia- I’m 99% sure this isn’t possible. If you start typing on messenger or refresh your screen it won’t show you as Idle.

For Messenger? Yeah sure just type in Idle as your status. You know at the very bottom left hand corner you click and can change your status from Avalible to Invisable or Busy etc. Choose New Status Message and type Idle it will look just like it does when Yahoo auto Idles you, it does not show a time for how long you have been Idle on Messenger so this will work. Just be sure to use a capital I not lowercase i. As for in Chat, No it wont work.

I have tried it but it doesnt work, because the icon for idle is the blue one, not the normal yellow or the busy one.
Any other idea?
