Its annoying the crap out of me, Just because im not using the Browser doesnt mean im Afk.
I can see the chat just fine so im not Afk, Stupid Browser...
How about adding an option in the options menu that allows you to turn it off?

should probably base autoaway on last chat message, if you dont type anything for oh....5 minutes it sets you as away. as it is now i can pull up me webbrowser, view a page, and come back to the lobby in time to see it set me as away

Well even if im not typing, i can always see atleast 3 lines of text from the chat so im not AFK.
The browser just keeps putting me in AFK mode because im not using the browser itself.
It sucks...

as long as you do not minimalize the window you wont be afk, if you just have it at full size at background you will not be afk, even if you dont click at it for some days/months/years

If i simply leave Ds running and start for example Photoshop it will go into AFK mode after 10/5(?) minutes. :/
I then have to hit ALt+Tab to switch to Ds to get it put me back in yellow.

try dropping it down to a window then switching to something else. Then you only have to move your mouse onto the chat every 5 min or so
