in thread /away CB command?

This is a very good suggestion. Some time ago, I suggested that the "Other users" list only get updated when you post something, but not when you are only reading through the XML ticker, even if you use the cookie, precisely to deal with this problem. But this might be easier to implement, and as mr.nick has shown, it's a technique that can be used even now without modifications to the server (with some limitations with respect to getting private messages).

Goes into the TODO list for the Perlmonks modules :-)
