Chat + Status's

Hi all,

On the chat options you can upload a status i write something on mine and when i nip back on it it's gone, do the thing clear it's self or do you have to update it often? (just sometimes im of being busy and mark myself red for busy and ill pop a status saying im off doing something but people still try to chat so not sure if they can see the status's any help? xx Thanx xx

As far as I know, the status you write stays there until you next change it, however, really helpfully, not, you can't actually see it yourself but the others can.

If you're not available to chat why not just change yourself to invisible as opposed to busy then you won't get the messages?

Your status is still there, just can't see your own :S
