Fucking fantastic. I have always depended on the behaviour that when I signed on IM, it kicked off other open sessions. Now they keep both sessions active, and route messages to all sesions UNLESS you're away or idle.</div>

<div style='font: bold 9pt ; text-align: left; '>I don't think I like that. I am very good at not having it auto-save my passwords, but you never know.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt verdana; text-align: left; padding: 0% 10% 0% 10%; '>Trying and failing. When I had an away message up, the messages were sent to my Windows box in my apartment. I didn't see them at all in my office - where I had logged in ten minutes ago. Who wants that behaviour?</div>

<div style='font: 10pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light", "Century Gothic"; text-align: left; '>Then your Windows box is not properly set to away, which is the main problem, not AOL's engineering. The explaination of the system is all there on the page you referenced.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt verdana; text-align: left; padding: 0% 10% 0% 10%; '>Yes, it's all explained there, and it's wrong. My windows box was set to away. BOTH instances were set to away. So where does the message go? They likely made the arbitrary decision that the first logged on instance gets it - they must have, because that's the behaviour it exhibits.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light", "Century Gothic"; text-align: left; '>Well, bitch at AOL. That's the implementation dept.</div>
