Is there a way to have AIM automatically sign you off when you sign on from another location? I am tired of switching from Mac to iPhone by doing a manual sign off and thought that in this time and age it should work more seamlessly sort of how Facebook mobile and the actual Facebook work in sync.

@LRP21: It's 2010, everyone uses an all-in-one client...like Pidgin or Adium if you're on OSX.

Pidgin is all you need, some people like to use Trillian though.

I've encountered this problem myself before, and I never found a way to fix it. What I do know, though, is that when it signs on in the new location it'll ask the old location to sign it out by responding to an automated message.
