A friend of mine with a very nice powerbook G4 has his Ichat buddy list set so that the away message and idle time of users is on the right side of the buddy's name instead of just below the name. He doesn't know how he set the away message to display that way, he says it just came that way. So where is the preference that I must have looked over a million times now that allows me to do this?
thanks
ipod why have you forsaken me?!?!?!

ok, but where in there can i make the change? Just to clarify my buddy list looks like this:
-------------
|George......|
|Away........|
|...............|
|Bill........|
|Hey Im not..|
--------------

his looks like
---------------------
|George Away.......|
|Bill Hey Im not...|
---------------------

with bill and george being people and "away" and "hey im not" being their away messages that show up in the buddy list

Edit: added a bunch of periods to the buddy list pictures so they looked like boxes (since the forum ate my spaces). Do people get what I'm saying? this seems like it should be simple

Just do not show the buddy pictures, and the away messages and the like will be shown to the right of the name.
