Protocol status lock

From Miranda IM - Wiki

Jump to: navigation, search

Protocol status lock is a feature that locks a protocol to a selected status, excluding it from global status changes. While in the locked state its status can be manually changed via Status Menu->[Protocol Name], or the status bar if enabled. The feature is often the cause of protocols not connecting automatically.
