Changing your status message |
You can set a status message that appears next to your name in the Buddy List. This message is visible to others who have you in their Buddy List, so you can use this message to let people know you've gone to lunch, you're in a meeting, or any other extra info you want them to know. |
Click the status indicator below your name in the Buddy List. To set custom Away and Available messages, choose Custom from the Status pop-up menu and type a short message. Press the Return key to save your message. You can also choose Edit Status Menu from the status pop-up menu. To write a new status message, click the Add (+) button and type your new message, then press the Return key. To edit an existing status message, double-click it. To save custom status messages, select "Remember custom messages." When you create a custom status message, it is added to the status pop-up menu so you can easily use it again. To change the order of the status messages in the menu, drag them up or down in the list. |
Your message is visible to other iChat AV users who have you in their Buddy Lists. If your friends are using an application other than iChat AV, your message may not appear, or may only be shown if they send you an instant message. |
