Share button? by Mike on 12-20-2004 at 06:54 PM
Hello.
Back in the good ol' days, when we were using windows messenger, Messenger Plus! could add a share button in the conversation window.
When msn6 was out, this feature was removed (however, it still exists in the menu).
Since Plus! can add a Plus! icon into a conversation window, why not add a share button too?
I think that people will use the share feature more often. (Patchou can know of the feature that sends what feature is used)
So what do you think?

What exactly did the share button do? I can't recall ever using such a feature with plus!

"share messenger plus!" maybe ?

its still there
click the plus icon on the formatting toolbar and then Share one of my files -> Messenger Plus!

The idea of adding an icon to the toolbar is not to crowd the toolbar. So adding a second but wont be done.
Plus! Icon > Share One Of My Files > Messenger Plus!

That button is still there with Plus! 3.25 on Messenger 5 (Download from: www.oldversion.com )
I remember Patchou saying why it was removed on MSN 6/7, but I cant remember what

just had an idea as alternative to this button: Why not add a feature to the /ping comand that if the pinged contact hasn't got Messenger Plus!, it automaticly asks you if you want to send it to your contact ? (of course it has to have an option to disable it)
What do you think ?

quote:This has been disgussed multiple times and multiple different ways were brought about for checkng if the user has Plus! installed or not. Unfortunatly there isn;t anyway of knowing if Plus! is installed or not because the /ping command doesn't request information back. The remote computer does that itself if the shift or control keys are not held down or the option to reply to pings is checked.

Why not just say "Hey do you have the best MSN Messenger addon installed called Messenger Plus!?"
if they say no then just say one second and i will send it, and click the plus! icon and so on
