Noticed that the ping command doesn't work in a conversation with more than one person, why doesn't it? can u make it work? just a suggestion becaue it would be better if i know the reply speed of more than one person! thank you.

I think it's been done (on purpose) to prevent a Pong! flood if you're in a conversation with many people (correct me if I'm wrong).

Mippo is right. If several people send a pong at the same time (more or less), the conversation would become a chaos.

not realy.... IMHO.....
wouldn't this happen:


person 1 says:
let's ping all of you...

person 1 says:
/ping

person 2 says:
pong [1 sec]

person 3 says:
pong [2 sec]

person 4 says:
pong [1 sec]

person 5 says:
pong [1 sec]

person 1 says:
done...

person 2 says:
Not realy confussing IMO, just a few lines more as useuall...
But of course the returned pongs don't mean anything to us, only to you, "person 1"...

person 4 says:
aye...

EDIT: Anubis... it is only an example and I felt like putting a "2"....

Yeah, I agree with Cookie, there is not really a problem in large conversations because there are a lot of people...if someone gets annoying and keeps doing it you can block them and all leave or just disable a pong being sent in preferences...however wouldn't it actually be more accurate if;
person 2 says:
pong [1 sec]

person 4 says:
pong [1 sec]

person 5 says:
pong [1 sec]

person 3 says:
pong [2 sec]
Because how can a 1second ping be faster than a 2 second ping?

This is a very interesting suggestion only if somehow it could work!!!

/xignore <email> IIRC...

Well if this is so annoying and it has been disabled then why do i receive reply when in a 2 + ppl convo by sending Ping? [msgplus]. but it's just that i don't see the time it took so why not fix it so i can see the time or something cause in both ways i can flood the convo right now lol

It's still possible by not using Messenger Plus, as long as you know what to send (either using the protocol or by copy & pasting a message into the box and hitting enter).

I don't think that this idea should be ignored just because it could flood chats.

Convos are already huge, a Ping? [request] is not going to flood it much more. And besides people who dont like extra crap tend to stay out of big convos. So the people still there wouldn't mind.

This is a pretty good idea , and I'd like to see it added to plus.

well, michael is right either the command Ping?[msgplus] should be disabled in multiple convos or it should be made to work even with the /ping command well , we have to hear patchou's opinion

Well, the thing is that the way the Ping command is functionning, multi-user convos ping could create incoherence... so no, sorry, at least, notin the next release
