Yes indeed they are, MsgPlus latest version (3.51.128) is compatible with MSN7 (7.0.0777), Messenger Discovery is compatible too because it uses a proxy, and another API, so no confusion. They are compatible. :)

MessengerDiscovery does not interfere with any other add-ons. It will not disable or change their settings in any way. Exclusively is Messenger Plus!. Messenger Plus! is in fact recommended as it gives a better interface to some user actions (such as "User has left").

Does the "openconvo" in Messenger Discovery works correctly?
Or does it notify you also when other contacts get your DP?

:-/ read cookie's reply to openconvo notifiers in MSN 7. here:

i assume that it is not entirely reliable. i don't believe any openconvo notifier is, with msn 7, for that matter ;)

It's not 100% correct, like all notifiers.

Whenever someones talks to me I always see their e-mail address flash up saying they've opened my window. So that's good enough for me. I couldn't get Wouter's openconvo plug-in to work.
RE: Are MsgPlus! and msgdiscovery compatible? by robochief on 04-13-2005 at 10:41 PM

My doubt is if it also tells you that a contact has opened a conversation with you, even if he/she didn't (just getting your DP).


RE: Are MsgPlus! and msgdiscovery compatible? by Tourist on 04-13-2005 at 10:46 PM

How does someone get your DP without opening convo box? I know they can see it when they view contact card of course.

here is a quote from the thread i posted a link to above:

it will still function, although the reported messages must be interpreted by you (this is due the way msn messenger 7 works, more info on that can be found in various thread). eg: you'll recieve an "opened window" message when you first sign in for some people. They didn't opened a window with you though, it is their msn messenger 7 which requests an update on your DP.... This means the messages aren't always correct, but with the right interpretation, you can easly pick the ones out which are valid.

There is no other method available to detect "opened windows", this is the only way...

Also see my previous post about this, in this thread (it helps btw if you read the entire thread before posting stuff): http://shoutbox.menthix.net/showthread.php?tid=28...d=315737#pid315737

Than that means there isn't and won't be any plug-in that notifies 100% correctly the "user has opened a conversation with you", right? ^o)

yep :cheesy: because of the way that msn 7 works.

but you still get notified everytime a person opens a conversation window with you. you will just sometimes get extra notifications for reasons stated in the post above.
