MemberI have AIM. When I have IM forwarding enabled, and I go idle, it automatically sends messages to my cell phone. Is there any easy way to change this so that when I go idle, it does not go to the cell? The only way I know is to go through prefs, signing in, disabling the forwarding feature and then re-enabling it later. Seems like there would be an easier way. Reason I ask is during the day, I don’t need it to go to my cell, I am near my computer most of the day…only need to turn on forwarding at night. Thanks in advance for your help.

MemberI have the EXACT same problem, and it drives me crazy! I might be watching a movie with an away message up, and I do not feel like paying to have people send me ‘oh how’s the movie’ texts — blah, but i’m lazy and don’t bother to manually re-set it…
Can anybody help?

MemberI think I might have found a program to do this, http://www.trikenit.com/aimautoforwarder.html you can check it out, the way I read it, correct me if I’m mistaking, is that it acts as a bot and gives you away status, and then it takes messages and sends it to your phone, but it’s supposedly not exactly AIM Mobile Forwarding (don’t ask me why, its hard for me to understand what all it’s saying). The thing that you might be interested in, is that it has commands you can use (you must be able to talk while away so download) to enable/disable mobile forwarding. This way you don’t have to go through all the hassle and just have to type a short command. If this isn’t what your looking for, I can try finding another program

Thanks in advance for your help.I have the opposite problem, after my computer goes idle it no longer forwards to my cell like it used to. I like this feature and want it to forward when my computer goes idle. How can I do this?>
