With the ICQ status modes, you can decide how others view your presence on the ICQ Networks. You can select between six online modes and an offline mode.


Available (online)
  This icon indicates to other users that you are online, connected to the ICQ Network and available for contact. You should first be connected to the Internet to connect to the ICQ servers.


Offline
  Indicates you have disconnected; or, if you are connected, this enables you to disconnect from the ICQ servers. You will receive messages and other events when you reconnect to the ICQ Network.

  Indicates that you are online but away from your computer. An automated reply that can be changed (through file/preferences) will be presented to users that try to contact you when you are in this mode.

Privacy (Invisible)
  This status indicates to other users that you are offline, when in fact you are online.
