  • 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.

  • Somehow, we still tolerate each other. Eventually this will be the only forum left.

<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>
