Re: Away status indicator/icon missing in IRC channel user list
Kaarel Jõgi spake unto us the following wisdom: I am looking for easy to see away status indicator/icon for irc channel user list, however can not find a way to turn it on in any options or plugins. Away status is available in rightclick-info panel and status changes can be seen in main window messages but this does not give instant overview. Can anyone help me figure out how to get away icons in irc? Brief look at the code hints that that information is queried for channel but i cant make out why its not used. We no longer request this information automatically, because it engenders a large amount of traffic and was causing users in a large number of channels or in very large channels to be booted from some servers for flooding. The root problem is that IRC has no plan for this, so in order to maintain this information the client must manually and repeatedly request status for *every* user in every channel to which it is joined. This is, of course, very noisy and wasteful. Normal IM protocols allow the user to say something like I am interested in away status for the users in #pidgin, after which the server sends only *updates* to this information. IRC has no such functionality. So, long story short, Pidgin doesn't do this. Ethan ___ Support@pidgin.im mailing list Want to unsubscribe?

I believe Pidgin itself does not have this functionality. You would probably need to do one of the following: 1. Write a plugin that does this 2. Find a plugin that does this 3. Code the changes directly in Pidgin ___ Support@pidgin.im mailing list Want to unsubscribe? Use this link: https://pidgin.im/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support
Re: Away status indicator/icon missing in IRC channel user list
No. IRC chat participant list, which is part of irc chat window, only shows yellow star and flag icons for channel admins. No status, neither green or clock. If i add irc user to main buddy list, green icon is always shown regardless of away status. This was observed with latest linux and windows clients on multiple IRC servers. Ideas?

I see an IRC Away plugin. Is that (perhaps) a work-around? -Tres - tres.finocchi...@gmail.com On Thu, Dec 5, 2013 at 10:40 AM, Kaarel Jõgi zurg...@gmail.com wrote: No. IRC chat participant list, which is part of irc chat window, only shows yellow star and flag icons for channel admins.

Re: Away status indicator/icon missing in IRC channel user list
Changes your IRC nick to indicate you are away. No, that is not it. Setting your own status works fine. Perhaps this is a question for dev list?

Re: Away status indicator/icon missing in IRC channel user list
@Kaarel, That is very likely. I can't find much about it on the internet with the exception of old bug reports that are marked as closed. The devs are probably the next best place to go, although many of them monitor the support list as well. -Tres - tres.finocchi...@gmail.com On Thu, Dec 5, 2013 at 11:18 AM, Kaarel Jõgi zurg...@gmail.com wrote: Changes your IRC nick to indicate you are away.
