Enable Your "Away" Message

This is something I did not do for the longest time. Now, if I expect to be unavailable for a bit (call it at least two days), I enable my away message.

You will find this option at the bottom of your profile page. You can enable it for "until further notice" or for a set of dates. While it is enabled, your messages area on the top left of your member area will show a notice in bold that your away message is enabled.

I have begun doing this because I treat this as my job and I have repeat clients who sometimes send me direct orders. It is a courtesy to let people know that I am unavailable for a time and it allows me to schedule some time off without fretting about clients so much.
