Busy Status

I really need to know more about this option. How it is chosen, how it can
all of a sudden display you as 'busy' when your not, and any other info that
can be passed onto me on the subject. I am trying to get all info I can to
explain to someone about it who is not tech savy(I barely am).

Re: Busy Status

Greetings Jim,

The only reason you should go "Busy" automatically is if you use a full-screen application
like a game, an installer that takes over the screen, or that sort of thing. This automatic
feature can be turned off in the first screen of the options, near the bottom of the options
window.

In the busy status, Messenger will not display its pop-up alerts, so you can proceed without
being annoyed.
