I was talking to a friend online using msn a moment ago, he signed out of msn and I had not noticed this and kept on talking away (i was watching a youTube vid @ the time)…
just an observation… but wouldnt it be easy to grey the speaking area (lower pane) or send a message to the sent messages panel that ‘John has signed out’ to alert users instead of the small message on the top of the panel which you wouldnt easily notice if you were ‘appear offline’ as it wouldnt pop up as it would just change text…
just a thought
I agree, similar things have happened to me before.
Let me guess, would you use Ajax to do that… you seem to have Ajax on the brain lately LOL.
