Question

How about a "busy" or "away" feature?

Answer 1

Then nobody will (hopefully) bug you :P

Answer 2

if you're on OpenStudy, you're never really busy.

Answer 3

everyone here has loads of free time.

Answer 4

What do you mean by that?

Answer 5

Haha, not me really.

Answer 6

Chat boxes on the bottom. Plenty of people in lala land.

Answer 7

Sometimes I accidentally stay on a question while I go do something else. Then that person tags me like "Hello... Why are you still on my question? Do you know the answer?" So when I come back I'm like awkward and leave. An away button would be a good idea

Answer 9

@ParthKohli Get your facts straight.

I only made one account to beat Abhisar's record.

I didn't medal myself.

It took me 18 days.

I only had 4 and a half hours a day

Answer 10

YES!! An AFK (Away From Keyboard) feature would be great! :D

I know that @DollyAcquah has asked for it in the past. (Obviously was never implemented as we can see :P)

@Compassionate would be using this feature the most (; lolol

Answer 11

Answer 12

"only had four and a half hours a day"

hahahaha

just proved your point

Answer 13

I really want this feature.

Answer 14

would be cool............

Answer 15

I had suggested a busy feature the other day for when you are like helping someone, and while you have the busy feature on no notifications come through, and when you turn off the busy feature, you get the notifications that you missed.

Answer 16

But what if someone tags you like 100 times o.o then OS would go *BOOM* xD

Answer 17

and how exactly did you get a 99 smart score in 18 days???

Yeah. This happens if there isn't a "away" feature and the helper gets frustrated. http://prntscr.com/6hs8rb

Answer 24

Why are you quoting yourself? lol

Answer 25

That's what I was thinking. @EclipsedStar ..and if you try to tag them a yellow dot appears beside your name instead of the green one that indicates you are online.

Answer 26

Nice idea :)
