Tres Finocchiaro spake unto us the following wisdom: > What triggers Yahoo to auto login at work? Is it aware of the signoff > elsewhere?
What William is talking about is, when you sign onto Yahoo! (and some other protocols) and you are already signed in elsewhere, you get a popup that tells you this. At that point you can forcibly sign out the remote client if you wish, but the protocol does not allow multiple clients to be connected simultaneously. What he is asking for is a way to auto-logout the remote client and sign in the local client only on *manual* status change (starting Pidgin, changing from an offline status to an online status, etc.) This prevents the flapping that someone else mentioned, but doesn't require him to click through the dialog every login. This is a very reasonable request, but as far as I am aware it is not something we currently support. I do suggest filing a feature enhancement ticket on the tracker (http://d.pidgin.im/) for this, as others have suggested, because that will provide a place for us to keep track of it and maximize the chance that it happens. Yahoo! is not currently one of our more actively-developed protocols, so I don't know when that might be. Ethan
