OK... for example, when the person comes back: \"ame i have come back from doing: %away.reason i have been away since %time and have been away for $duration($awaytime)\". Every time somebody goes afk and sets an \"amsg\" or \"ame\" it places it in every channel the person is on. If I shared 20 channels with that person I\'d be getting pretty annoyed at seeing the away and come back msg in every channel. Personally, I prefer it to operate on something like a nick response, where if the nick or part nick is said in a chan then the person who says the nick gets a notice or msg that has the away message. The nick change to mainnick|afk or something similar will give the general idea a person is away rather than sending to all channels on away or return. Thats what I meant... I hope its of some help to you.
