 Replying to [comment:2 amishmm]:
 > is it?! i dont think u can find out if person is online by user info
 page. it wud be big privacy issue.

 How exactly is invisibility not a privacy issue in the first place? You're
 basically spying on/stalking your buddies. Also, I know in AIM, you can
 see a buddy's info if they're invisible, but not if they're actually
 offline, which is how some clients implement "show invisible buddies"
 features.

 > plus sending autoreply when invisible is indeed a bug because it
 nullifies the sole purpose of invisible mode.

 What do you think is the purpose of invisible mode? Sorry, but I find it
 expected that anytime both buddies are online, the autoreply triggers. If
 you want to be invisible and not reply, then just unload the plugin.
