Scripters i got an idea by Hero__dragon on 10-21-2006 at 06:05 PM
Can anyone make a script wich allows you to see ur contacts contacts, just like in xfire, but in a different window or right below the contact or something like that?
If this is not allowed or can't be done let me know pls, i am looking forward to it, either way THNX

I don't think this can be done(without both contacts having a script) so i doubt will make this for you, as it would be an invasion of your contacts' privacy.
also please try to speak proper english rather than text talk. Thanks
And welcome to our forums
EDIT:Beaten to it lol

Windows Live Messenger already has this feature in some countries 
Click on their contact card, then at the bottom click the green buddy icons
(if you hover over it says: "View this contact's friend list")

But that does not show all the persons contacts, you have to add them in your friends list.

That would not be an invasion of privacy as the contact has already allowed you to view the DP.
Therefore you are not seeing something you shouldn't be.

might be so but the fact that it will then be saved on ur computer, explain that. And besides, ur friend knows a friend that u don't have on ur list, then you can easily add him/her....or even make more friends or maybe get more contacts to blok you
RE: Scripters i got an idea by Zahid™ on 10-21-2006 at 06:39 PM
But your contacts display pictures are already stored on your computer as soon as you sign in so all stealers are doing is getting from the folder where they are all stored .

People can not simply go adding contacts to their own friends list without the contacts' explicit permission.

DP's are public, and they are sent to your computer already. Otherwise you wont be able to see the graphic in the first place. If you want to see something on your screen it has to be send to you, that's how computers work.
What that so called "stealing" does is simply copying the _already present_ graphics from your cache directory to another directory of your choice. There is absolutely no connection to be made to your contacts, let alone, break in into their computer or whatever to grab the graphic. The graphic is already on your PC the moment you see it.
