Hello everyone!
While working a favor under another director's account, someone else logged on and did not see my name listed as being online. When they subsequently logged into the director's account, the favor was quit and they worked another case. This is not the first time this has happened to me, and I am wondering if there is a way to notify someone that someone is in the account currently when they attempt to log on? I have lost many a case this way...

Solve the problem, don't allow password sharing. Force agencies to work together to solve a treasure hunt, instead of one person bouncing from account to account in order to use the favors of those accounts.

As a member of Hitchhiker's: NY, I would be pleased to introduce to Biggie528 a chat program called: Trillian
It really was named after the Trillian character from Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, heheh.
The benefits of Trillian, which is a free program, is that it recognizes most chat programs and if everyone is using Trillian, no matter what else they have, you will all be able to chat with each other.
Bah. I didn't even tell my own agency members about it. We're using AOL dang it.
Link to Trillian, one of the best chat and file transfer programs available: http://www.ceruleanstudios.com/
Hope that helps.

Trillian is a wonderful program. The free version works nicely but if you upgrade to pro the plug-in capabilities are very nice.
Alternatively Biggie you could have a site set up for the agency like several of ours have done. We use those chat rooms for people who can not get on IM because of other issues. PM me if you need details.

Hey R. Trillian has been mentioned, but I don't think it's compatible with Mac which Ara uses, and I also don't think she can get into the chat room that our agency does use. Oh, what should we do with Ara? LOL j/k Ara, ya know we love you.
Biff, our agency works very well together. There are times that one of us may be away for an extended amount of time, or just away from the computer for a bit. The detective who's account this happened in was away for a few days, and we had permission to use his account for this kind of thing. I think one of the reasons that we do work so well together is just that; we just do. :-) We all have a mutual trust and respect for each other and want to do what we can to be the best agency that we can be. :-)

Well, we use AIM to avoid those problems and to work with each other during hunts. Password sharing IS how we work together as an agency. We can't all be logged in at once (we work, go on vacations and get sick, just like everyone else) and it is the best way to advance hunts.

Biff I think "forcing" isn't exactly what our agency is about....while there are several of us (and you know who you are ladies lol) who have no lives and spend more time on the game than anything else in the universe, others do have things to do outside of the sleuth world...
