Everytime I log onto MSN, Plus come up telling me that all the contacts that were online before I logged out, it tells me that they logged in again when that havent movied and it shows that they all moved at the same time.  I have the lastest build. This didnt happen with past pluses I had that arent compatible with 7.0
Here is an example:

[12/3/2004 | 03:27:18 PM] (current user) - You signed in
[12/3/2004 | 03:27:18 PM] Susan Contact status has been changed to: Busy
[12/3/2004 | 03:27:18 PM] stroikenboinker Contact status has been changed to: Away
[12/3/2004 |03.27:18 PM] -MeL - I met Hanson AHHH! contact has sign on.

I'm afraid i don't understand what you are talking about. Imo it's normal for plus to gather all your contacts statusses at the same time when you sign in. Please explain more clearly... a screenshot perhaps?

It sounds like possibly you have the notifications feature on. To check go:

Plus!==> Preferences ==> Notifications ==> Pop up defaults

to change this to what you want

I leave my messenger on when I go to work, school, and when I come home, I turn it off to refresh the Plus window cos it has filled up by the time I get back. Even when I am home, it does it. I have no notifications marked I just did that. Like today, I signed off and on again. The two bottom people had just gone on away when I left and was still on away when I came back so they havent moved or changed their status. Yet plus is told me they did and as you can see they all changed their status at the same time. and thats not possible.

Maybe you try restarting Messenger...Actually, I dun really get what you are tryin to explain...

Jessica,

First of all, if you want to save a picture in Paint Shop Pro into another format then the default format then you need to define that, choose "Save As..." or Press F12. You can't just rename the extension of the file (.PSP) to .JPG to make it a jpg-file. Just like you can't rename a video-file (.AVI) into .DOC to make it a Word document

Anyways, here is the fixed screenshot:


But I don't see anything wrong or unusual in that screenshot of the eventlog. Everything seems normal like it should be. This is the eventlog, and it is normal that it "fills up" with lines of people who change their status, that is what it suppose to do.

It is possible that you're talking about a bug, but I (and others) don't understand correctly what you're trying to say.

I think shes talking about the time...She feels that it is impossible that the 3 contacts there changed their status all at the same time (9:30:22pm).

Yes, I am talking about the time thing.

It is quite possible though. Nothing strange or wrong in that...

Jessica, could you give more instances of this? For example, maybe you can give screenshots of it over a period of a few days, cause sometimes it is quite possible that these 3 contacts changed their status at the same time. I dont believe that this is a bug though, as my Plus has no problems displaying the time. Maybe its with your network connection...

Besides, can you give ur build num of your MSN Messnger? Maybe you are using an older build, and there might be problems with it. The information that you provided in the first post is not really enough...

As for me, I dont have any problems with it.
My OS: Windows XP Professional SP2, Build 2600
My Messenger: MSN Messenger 7.0.0425
My Plus: 3.40.110

update: oops, sori, my Plus build is 3.40.112

actually i can second Jessica's problem, very often when I sign in after an msn crash, about 10 notification pops up at the same time saying each contact has signed in. I really doubt 10+ contacts would sign in at the same time right after I sign in. I'll try to take a screeny next time it happens. It doesn't happen too often though.

Huh? What do you mean by an MSN crash?

Besides, can you pls provide information about your current config of your PC?

see this even log:

showing 18 events in the course of less than 10 seconds is not really normal. Bug?

I agree and disagree with you.

I agree that sometimes I see some contacts sign in at the same time in the Events Log, but I assume that happens because the Messenger client lags. I have seen 5+ contacts signed in at the same second.

As for "appears to be idle," it is perfectly normal.
You can do a simple check.
Sign in/ check the events log/ see if there is a contact idling/ sign out/ sign in again/ check the events log.
You will see the same contact appears to be idle "again".

Okay, but what if the contact is not idle? (After following the steps that you wrote there) That means theres a bug with it?

Btw, can someone just answer this: Does the time stated there follow my PC's time, or does it get the time from the MSN servers?

so you are saying that 9 different contacts signing in within 20 seconds after you sign in is highly probably and is an everyday thing?

I'm pretty sure about it (that's not a bug).

My OS: Windows XP Home SP1,
My Messenger: MSN Messenger 7.0.0425
My Plus: lasetest beta version.

Sorry, but i still don't see anything unusual in those screenies. When you log in it gathers all contacts statusses at the same time, that's normal.

Yeah I know it's normal but it when I log off for a second and one again, I know for a fact that 10 people can't log in at the same time. If you read the other posts in this thread you will other people have the same problem. MSN/Plus lags.

Plus! is not a Messenger client, nor a Messenger server, it only displays what it got send by the MSN servers. This isn't a Plus! problem, IF at all a problem....

Like said before, when you log in the statusses of your contacts are checked, this is normal...

It is NOT normal. Read the other posts in this thread other people have the problem too. Either Plus or MSN lags. I don't know how to explain it any better, just look at the other posts and you will see.

I'm sorry.
If the messenger client lags (MSN servers are slow or something), that is NOT a "problem in plus."

Plus! works fast on your (or other people's) PC.

In other words, it is normal

It is annoying, gnownnoskcid. I installed 6.2 again with Plus 3.25, I havent had a problem with it yet. So I think its a problem with the new MSN or the beta version of plus.

Well if you find the site again. let me know

Hi Jessica,

this "problem" is actually due to network lag. If Messenger takes too long to load, it sends notifications to Messenger Plus! very late and there's no way for it to make a distinction.

I'll increase the timeout value for the next version, I didn't know so many people were experiencing these issues (my contact list is not very big so it's not a problem for me). I will change it from 10 seconds to 25, just to be on the safe side (remember that if you do some tests, this means that Messenger Plus! will not treat notifications received before 25 seconds have elapsed since sign-in).
