I play RLC and use a other game chat client at the same time. I am in RLC, but when I tab to my other chat client I "ghost" in RLC and people think I am away when I really am not.

Is there any way to set it up so that I don't ghost when I am tabbed to another program?

Thanks

If you are in RLC and tabbed to another program then technically you are away and will ghost. Only way to disable ghosting is not be away or tabbed into something else.

If but only. For those of us able to multitask, or have multiple windows up side by side, or who have to tab out to other programs (like, I don't know, a broadcaster) it is probably the single most irritating feature I've ever run into.

Just be glad its not like the old days...when we ghosted people could see our undies...or lack there of :-)

I think its a good thing to ghost because then when u dont answer right away people can see u are not onscreen.

Of course, if I don't have an afk message up, you can't tell if I've gone to empty the litterbox without windowing down.

Side by sides always do the trick for me.

I remember the Groom ghosting at one, the bride got me to ring him (as he was then a RL friend)... turned he fell asleep; delights of 11 hours time difference! LOL

Sometimes I pretend to be AFK by using the Task Manager. You can still do everything you want in-world and look like you're ghosting when *that guy* comes around.
