Ok, I see what you mean there. I did not realise you could put Skype offline there.

I don't have that button for my SIP account though... it is a straight VOIP/SIP account with a landline number and doesn't support status messages or IM - perthaps this is why the "status" option s not showing up.

If that is the case then I'm only able to switch all off or just Skype off which is a pain. Any further ideas? My SIP provider is sipgate.co.uk if that helps.

Cheers
