Tomaz_B Posted February 25, 2006 Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 BRB could be a lot more handy if there was a "BRB ICON" (there is space near help icon). One would click BRB icon in the bottom of the screen and: - an automatic message "be right back" (or whatever user might set) would appear as chat in the room so that others are notified,- screen would change, say, some kind of screensaver would appear so that one could not forget "BRB" on. - when one returns, clicks "BRB" again, screen goes back to normal and a message "back" appears in chat window.

onoway Posted March 6, 2006 Report Share Posted March 6, 2006 seems to me people ought to be able to take responsibility for their own computers. I think it isn't a monstrous problem to chat to someone and be told they may not answer immediately and personally I like it the way it is. If someone comes back and forgets to click it off, sooner or later they are reminded , and in the meantime, what harm is done? The other side of the coin is that it is possible to vanish for a short time and not miss anything the way it is now. Some people don't even click on brb, just go and leave their computers on. That is somewhat more disconcerting as you don't know if they are deliberately ignoring you or what, but changing brb will not address this,(except I suspect that more people are likely to do exactly that if it is changed.) I think the system functions extremely well as it is. If I could only bid/play half as well as this site works I would be a happy camper.
