I'll just look through your code that you posted to try to help you
figure out what's not working as you expect...

But it appears that your email program must have gone behind your back
and deleted the code out of your email.  (Because obviously it must
have been in there since you know that we are merely coders, not
psychics.)

But since the code disappeared, I'll have to get out my crystal ball.

Yes.  I believe I see it now...
I see a line of code that is either missing or incorrectly placed.
It starts with an "r".  It is one word long.  It ends with "eturn".
It should be placed a few lines before the check for afk.
*Dennis clumsily drops the "crystal ball" and it rolls underneath the
couch*

Now that I lost my crystal ball, that's all the help I can give you.

Dennis
