On yahoo messenger what dose Idle mean?

  • Ok so i want to speak to someone on yahoo messerger. Shes from America and im from England. She is added to my friends list, im added to hers. When i go on i come up as available, she comes up as 'idle' with a little clock nxt to it and i can never get get intouch with her. Dose anyone know what this means?

  • Answer:

    The idle status works like a screen saver on your computer. If you don't use it or move your mouse for a while it changes your status to Idle (meaning more than likely shes away from her computer) this just lets people know she may not answer straight away.

Kirsty is right. Basically, your friend has her computer on all the time and she's probably not home.
