Is there a way I can appear Idle without actually being Idle? I know there is a way if you replace the idlemon.dll file, but is that the only way?
if you are looking to avoid people you can try this:
Appearing Away Without Being Away:1.) Open your AIM Preference Window (“My AIM”, “Edit Options”, “Edit Preferences”)
2.) Click on “Away Messages”
3.) On the left hand side, click on any away message (It does not matter which one because you are not really going to use it)
4.) Click the “I’m Away” button once, this will open up you’re “I’m Away” window
5.) Now, using your space bar, hit the “I’m Back” button (closing the away window), then again the “I’m Away” button (opening the away window). Do this very fast about 10-15 times ending on closing the away window.
Now if you have added your self to your buddy list you will see the notepad next to your screen name, indicating that you are away. However when somebody messages you, they will not get an away message. This is a great way to screen IMs. You can use Ctrl+H to create a horizontal bar and type a fake away message to make somebody think you are actually away if you do not wish to talk to them. This HAS been tested to make sure that the notepad shows up on everybody’s buddy list. If you wish to undo this trick without exiting AIM completely, just edit your profile and the notepad by your name will disappear.
I tried this but couldn’t get it to work at all. Eventually I got a message saying that I couldn’t change my away state. It showed me away, but also sent my away message when someone messaged me.
Well there is a program that can make you go idle instantly. There is also programs that can stick the opened door and the lock next to your name, but im not sure about putting a away icon next to it.
Also, jeff, the same thing happened to me. I got jammed into away and everytime i send a message it said i couldnt change my away state. Probably flood control.

Yes there is a program called InstantIdler and it works fine.
I’m using Aim 5.2.3281 version and I have InstantIdler52,it works.
