I thought I had seen something awhile back about IMing someone in-world while you are not...but I did not find it in search... Any ideas? And other options? Because the one I recall I think you had to have been in-world i order to set up originally...

Yes - I believe I have done that - but I referred to actually originating the IM from Outside.

There's been some talk of SLeek, but I've never tried it myself.

I am bumping you to an 8.5 on the Official Trout Measuring Instrument of Sluttiness. You are an enigma - on the one hand a sweet, gentle, intelligent woman who we would like to wrap up in our arms and protect, and on the other, a temptress to whom we would like to do all sorts of unmentionable things.

Congratulations and shame on you! You are a bit of a slut.

Amaranthim,

I have my IM's emailed to me when I am not inworld. This way I am able to use my regular email client and reply. They get my reply, even tho I am not inworld. Works out pretty well, especially if one of my customers is having problems.

While inworld > Preferences > Communication > Send IM to email(log in to change)

Put in the desired email address and from then on, while you are offworld, you will get and be able to REPLY to the IM's.

WARNING!!!! Always use REPLY to send the email. This filters out your RL email address. :)

If you get your IMs sent to your e-mail, you can reply to people in-world that way...but you have a 5-day time limit on the last IM you receive, so if you haven't replied within 5 days, your message won't get to the user. And bear in mind that there is a character limit you can send too...

hi amaranthim

you might be thinking about zonkster:



you don't need to set it up inworld, but if you want a verification code you'll need to touch the zonkster communicator some time when you're logged on.
