AOL Instant Message Question
Is there a way to IM and chat with people on your buddy list w/o turning off your away message? I see that people do this all the time, I just can't figure out how. Is it just an AIM thing?

Re: AOL Instant Message Question
well if you have old AIM there will be an "eye" (actualy pic of an eye) on top and you just shut it
other wise when you set your away message...there will be there options you can check on the bottom...just check "allow me to send messages while away"
you will look like your away, but if you want you can still talk to people...I use to avoid talking to annoying people

Go to the AWAY (paper notebook) at the bottom of your buddy list.
Go to EDIT AWAY MESSAGES
Click the box that says ALLOW SENDING OF MESSAGES.
I just tried it and it worked!!

Are you on AIM or America Online?
The directions I gave you are for AIM...
