Probably been suggested before but I like probably many others leave my account logged in even if I am away from screen. Sometimes I come back to find a few whispers or messages and that person has no idea if I am ignoring them or actually away. My suggestion is the green dot shown on your player when online should turn orange when you have been inactive (not clicked or moved on your island) for a certain period of time maybe 15 mins or 30 mins.
and add an afk-message to whisper.
A fourth tab showing only friends and guildies who are online would be useful

We currently have a green dot to show when a player is online, would it be too much to add a yellow or blue afk light switch to the green to show if someone is away and will not respond. I find it annoying when trying to talk to people who are 'online' only to find out that they simple left the computer on and went to work or sleep....
Been suggested and ignored...

+1 Come on BB little things go along way. Beats coming back to screen to find whispers from disheartened players trying to contact us...
Sounds like a good idea please please do it. even pretty please if you like.
I'd like an afk and a busy option to be added, hate to seem rude when people whisper and I'm not there and really hate not replying when I'm in the middle of blocks and such.
+1 Indeed...and perhaps BB could get rid of the auto-updating script stealing focus (removing cursor) from chatbox (and in mail, since that system got reworked) - I would rather click to update such "online bar" than keep getting interrupted when typing.
i think it would be nice if tere was a afk button in the game so the green dot becoms red. :)

Hi,
It would be nice if you made it posible to click your own portrat, and turn on a yello dot, to show friends and guildies that you are AFK.
That would save many alot of time trying to find out whos at the keyboard and whos not! :)

That would be great !!!
Awesome idea!
Good idea like I suggested LAST YEAR!!

Whispering someone and never getting a reply can be a frustrating experience, especially when they are "online."
It would be helpful if the friends bar/guild bar green dot could turn orange when the person is afk (away from keyboard).
Setting an afk note would also be helpful but maybe I'm pushing my luck here.
Those of us who are on the waiting end of the communication line would greatly appreciate such a feature:
Ex)) Afk: brb 5 min, making a cup of tea
Ex)) Afk: running an errand, back in 20
YES YES YES YES I want this as i frequently work while playing and either have another window open or on another screen and the volume of times people whisper me and i don't answer is ridiculous.
[Multiple threads merged, all discussing an afk indicator]
Might want to get the green lights working properly first. Oldest outstanding bug, 1st reported December 2011!
Seconded both ideas (afk indicator, and bug fix for green lights..)
AFK indicator would be amazing. (another sly TSO-at-work person here).
silly idea if they say hi and no answer..simple im not here,or chose not be answer....what should we do nave an answer machine..silliest thing suggested up to now
I love the idea of a different colour indicator for afk etc.
Great idea! Gets my vote.
Who'd suggested an answer machine? What's suggested is an (optional) AFK-message TO whoever is whispering.. Not FROM.Quote:

Plus vote! Excellent, so useful to know if a guild member is there or not.
am hoping bb take noticed of this and maybe add away from keyboard button. Most of the people in our guild like to keep logged in but would nice to be able to add something for us to click?
sounds good to me
Why we can't change lamp color into red if we are afk for long, but don't want close the window?
