Weird question I know, but if someone goes idle on their computer with yahoo instant messenger on it, how much time elapses before they're "idle?"

I see people Idle after 1 minute.

edit: Different yim clients will do different things with the idle time too. With Pidgin you can set it to never be idle, or you can put in whatever time you want and it'll say you've been idle for that long.

I don't personally use YIM, but shouldn't this info be somewhere in the setting/preferences screen iwearnosox? :confused:

Probably, but I don't know if it's ever changed across versions. I'm looking to get a sampling from people to see what the average is.

And :beer: to you man, haven't seen you in... years? :)

I'm looking for the official YIM! time by default across versions. Thank you though.
