Too little, too late?

Hey guys, just wanted to drop in to share an update to AW that hasn't been applied to the release notes for whatever reason.

  • The Contacts List has been reordered
    • Sorted by ONLINE and OFFLINE users
    • AFK users are denoted by a yellow check
  • After X minutes, users can be automatically toggled AFK by the browser.
I like the yellow checkmarks as they offer some visual consistency to the notifications in the contacts list.  Hopefully someone will get some use out of it... I came in today to check it out and I didn't have very many friends online. :(

Noticeboard: AW User Conducting Survey

Hey everyone!  A fellow AW user -- Absolute Monarch -- is conducting a survey through his university and I'd like to help get the word out.

Quote: "I'm conducting some research on video games and would love it if you could help. You don't need to be a player of games to participate; you can have never played a video game in your life and I would still need your help. All you have to do is click the link below and complete the survey. It will take you 20-30 minutes."

Noticeboard: JAM Logo Contest

The JAMs are holding a contest for a new logo, and offering a nice prize (~$20) for the 1st and 2nd place winners.  It sounds like anything is fair game, as long as it is at least 480 pixels wide and features JAM or Just Ask Me in the image.

Entries can be submitted to the JAM blog on the AW Forums.

Good luck!
