Quick Amsn question

Hi,

Please excuse the simple question:

In Amsn, what is the difference between "no activity" and "away". I can figure out the obvious... but if someone has set their status to away, and are still at the keyboard, is that when it shows as away, or is no activity only when they went to away after not being at the keyboard for a few minutes?

Thanks
 
"No Activity" (which might be the same as "Idle") would probebly mean that the user is available but is just sitting idly...in other words, no chat activity is taking place from that user to anyone or vice-versa. That user might be busy doing something else on the computer and hasn't initiated or continued a chat session with anyone.

"Away" is meant to let other users know that the user is not currently at the keyboard.

Beyond that, it's a matter of the user actually following the proper etiquette for those messages, something that many people don't always follow.
