Ever been in private conversation with somebody and you are typing out a long sentence and before you notice the person you chatting with disappears from your list (links out somewhere else or crashes) and the thing that was meant for that person only is suddenly broadcast to the whole Age you are in?

I'd prefere a simple error message: "Unable to deliver the message".

Yes, that can be embarrassing. In SL, the message simply follows the other person wherever they go, and if they go offline, it stores it until they log back in. This means you can even send IMs to people who aren't online. This morning I sent an IM to Donahoo who was offline at the time, and then later, she replied while I was offline. Very convenient.

Here's an idea which may be useful. You're in relto, but you're looking at another screen on your PC. How about a switchable chime or tone to let you know someone has PM'ed you?

Very Happy
