I find that I am quite annoyed with the current Away/Busy options.

1. I can not manage to STAY Away! I set myself to Away and it just keeps flipping off on its own. Sometimes I can tell that it is from a mouse movement, similiar to a screensaver. Sometimes it is from the dog wagging her lil tail against the desk leg. Sometimes it simply appears that I may have breathed too hard or something. LOL! Other times, I simply walk away from the desk and return to find my avie sitting there clueless with people chatting away to it.

I can not start to count the times when I have set myself to Away here because of a phone call or someone coming in the room wanting my attention only to see my "avie wake up" and people start greeting me with welcome backs... only for me to have to explain "Oops! Not really here yet! Still gone! LOL!" It's not just me. I see it with virtually everyone. It seems to be something that is simply dealt with at this point. I guess I am still new enough for it to be a true annoyance.

My suggestion: Add a "BACK" or "RETURN" button similiar to the "STAND UP". PLEASE! :)

2. I would really like to see more status options added. In fact, it might be nice to have the ability to place our own status titles... such as Yahoo offers. Imagine being able to place ourselves in "AWAY - On Phone" or "Busy - In Meeting".

Good ideas... may I add... The possibility to add some anims to this! (such as the away anim linked to the away button!)

Did anyone else read this title and imagine a "Single/Married/Divorced/etc" option in profiles?

Exactly what I thought! I thought this might be a added feature to the Partner program in 1.4. I would like to see more states and a working afk command.
