Oh cool, thanks!

I think, when the user enters any command (which could also mean
changing status). Because if the user can enter a command, he's
hopefully back at his pc :)

When changing back to online would be fine as well, although I prefer
the first variant.

I am answering as well, but since that's mira's suggestion, he should as
well...

That's probably becoming more difficult, but I would suggest if I have
messages from 3 people, and when I write a message to somebody, the
count _for this person_ will be cleared, and you are notified only about
the 2 others.

Of course sometime you don't want to reply to a message, so writing
"done" or sth. like that could clear the whole status log.
