I was thinking that it would be a good idea to add the option to use Personalised Statuses when you log in. MSN Messenger 7 added the option to sign in as 'Busy', 'Be Right Back', 'Appear Offline' etc (see attachment), and it would be really handy if one could enable a personalised status automatically as one signs in.
Thank you for listening!

EDIT: Whilst we're on the subject, there is also a My Status menu in the system tray icon (when you right-click it). Why not add a Personalised Status... menu option to that, as well? Please? Just a thought.

I thought about that also, but how r we gonna do that?
Msgplus! adds an {...} after ur nick so other MsgPlus! users can c ur personal status.
So, MsgPlus! has 2 add that after signin... that would b the solution.

Patchou, is this possible?

It's certainly possible. In fact, Patchou should add it - it would go with all the other places he's injected Personalised Statuses.

yeah grat idee.. plz patchou

I love the idea! I often want to log on with a personalised status, and have worked myself around it by log on as offline, and then selected a personalised status, but it would be great if this option have been added. And while on it, add it to the sys tray menu as well!

Hey, great idea, but then, with the MSN Msngr 7.5, you'e allowed to put up custom names, why not have an option, where you can edit the Custom name, befor you sign in?
