I use Pidgin both at home and at the office. When I log on after being
on at either place, I have to re-enable the account. Stupid, really,
just a single click, but bothersome all the same. I would really love
it if Pidgin would just connect and move on - Yahoo! Messenger does
this, and it's really the only feature I miss.
Assuming that Yahoo doesn't allow multiple clients to connect at once,
what would you expect to happen when you leave pidgin connected at the
office and then login at home?
I'd guess that what would happen would be this: Your pidgin at home
would connect, and it would disconnect you at your office. Next, your
pidgin at the office would connect, and it would disconnect you at home.

Then Yahoo would disable your entire account for abuse, and you'd be
back here, wondering why that happened.
Am I missing something about how your change would work?
Speaking as a user, I'd rather you learn to log off so that if I try to
IM you a few minutes before you get into the office, I know that you're
not online, rather than wondering why you aren't responding to my IM for
hours. But that's just me.
