what i think would come on handy,

is the ability to get only pop-up screens saying people come online, from groups you choose to

(ie, not from your "other contacts"-group, because you almost never chat to those folks)

You can already do that!

• In the main Messenger window, menu Tools > Options > General tab > uncheck the 5th check box (the one that says show notifications when my contacts sign in.
  
  
• Click Ok, and go to Plus > Preferences > Notifications > Popup defaults, and select Enable Messenger Plus! notifications when contacts sign in.
  
  
• Click Ok and for each contact in your contact list you want to be notified when s/he signs in, right click on his/her name and select Messenger Plus! extras > Notifications.
  
  
• Choose to be notified every time and select the last box (signs in)

thanks,

guess i'll choose some 50 people to add manually then,
(don't want to be busy all day long )
