I have pidgin on both my pc and my laptop. My PC was down for 2 days, but during that I was still "online", and then randomly it set me as away (I did not physically set it). Im thinking I must not have logged out on my laptop, but the lid was closed and not plugged into power. I was wondering how this can happen? Does pidgin do any cloud related status? The only thing i can think is my laptop somehow stayed on, with the lid closed. Any help would be wonderful, im being called a liar for saying I absolutely did NOT touch anything but my kindle for 2 days(he says pidgin can't be wrong on statuses because its peer-to-peer). Oh, I connect using an aim screen name if that might be helpful. Im clueless, i dont know what happened. Thanks in advance!

Same here but the other way around. When I start Pidgin I've noticed that many times my buddies show "online" but in reality they are not. I noticed this because I tried to send messages to them but I didn't get a response so I started wondering what's going on. I've checked this by calling them and asking if they were online or not and they told me they were offline. I and all my buddies use XMPP accounts.
I don't know if this is relevant or not but I noticed that when one of my buddies actually was online and I hovered mouse over his name on buddy list it showed multiple statuses for this buddy. See attachment.
What's strange is that there were multiple statuses and away-times: 2 hours 10 minutes, 2 hours 23 minutes, and most of them showed "available". What are all those statuses and why there's multiple of them? What are those numbers?
I'm a little bit worried because to me it seems that there are multiple connections... Is my Pidgin connection being eavesdropped? How do I find out? I mean if my buddies show online but in reality they are offline and if I send a message could the message be delivered to an unknown recipient or to multiple unknown recipients?
I and all of my buddies use OTR plugin.
I've also noticed that if I wait say 5 minutes my buddies status changes to offline if they really are offline.
