I ask because someone from UER sent me a PM about a possible exploration while I was on vacation recently and I didn't get the message until several days later. Obviously it's not a huge deal, but it would be helpful for people to know right away that the user they're trying to contact won't be available until X date rather than having to keep checking UER for a return message. If one wanted to get all fancy, maybe there could even be automated activation and deactivation of messages -- like, you set a date and time at which it turns itself on and off, so that you don't have to sign on to UER to set it. Maybe this information could also appear in someone's profile, with an option to turn that feature off and on. If this a feature that Av thinks would be useful, I propose the "away message" as a standard feature and the automatic de/activation as a premium feature. -- Mat "We shall not cease from exploration / And the end of all our exploring / Will be to arrive where we started / And know the place for the first time." - T.S.

Is that the idea Mat? I got your tour winner right here pussies, at least he'd crash out trying.

Is that the idea Mat? Yeah, that's basically it, but geared towards letting others know you won't be around to explore so they don't think you're a jerk for not responding. -- Mat "We shall not cease from exploration / And the end of all our exploring / Will be to arrive where we started / And know the place for the first time." - T.S.

A lot of people are going to be on vacation, or gone for the weekend, and stuff like that.
