Vacation Messages

It seems that people often forget to remove their vacation messages when they come back, which creates confusion - I just read one which says "back in December" but there are many games in progress.

Would it be possible to make the vacation message delete automatically when the vacation flag comes down?

Sometimes people change the text on their profile to explain an upcoming absence and forget to change it back when they return. The profile text has nothing to do with the vacation settings.

Is there even a personalized option for vacation messages? I just booked a couple days and didn't get an option to write a message.

What I read was " *** is on vacation and says *****, in a separate section above the profile text, so I'm guessing there is an option somewhere in the vacation page.

It's at the bottom left of the "vacation" page - "Optional message"

Thanks for that.
