Suggestion: feature to sign-in in "appear offline" status by MacLeod on 09-24-2004 at 05:59 AM

excuse my english is very basic (and very bad :-( )

I know that messenger discovery does it, but i dont want to use innecesary resources on my computer just for that feature

Is it possible that the next release of msg plus includes the feature of "choose sign-in status" before connection? (f.e: enter in "invisible" mode)

Please use the search feature that is on the board because this question has been asked a multitude of times.

To save you the hassel of looking the answer is simply no.

Now why no you ask well I will tell you. In order to have Messenger change the way it communicates to the server when telling it the status you will be signing in as would involve changing the internal code in Messenger, now this is illegal and in order for Messenger Plus! to stay legal and around it cannot do such things. Messenger Discovery gets around this by acting as a Proxy communicating with the Messenger server and the application and changing the status sent to the server to appear offline. And Patchou wont use Messenger Plus! as a proxy so... unfortunatly its either Messenger Discovery or JRNZLoader which is used for Polygamy and any status you want to sign in as. For that application just search http://mess.be
