I tried to use swimming psm script and it installs and works fine, until i close wlm and restart it. when I do so, wlm freezes immediately while trying to connect. the window of wlm becomes unmovable and i got to ctrl alt canc to terminate it.. Then if i delete psm folder from plus scripts folder, wlm starts fine.. what the hell does this all mean, i don't know! if someone who knows jscript can search the code for some issue, and solve it, i would be absolutely grateful!
thanks in advance

i just need some help to make this script usable, can't someone at least say "it can be/can't be done"?  please help me.. thanks

Sorry,
I don't know the script...
But I have a sugestion for you...

Why don't you try to ask the author of the script about your problem???

because i don't know how to reach him...thanks anyway!!

basically he's not member of this forum.. so it's hell of a mess to contact him!

anyone PLEASE help me...

Simple advice: don't use the script...

For starters the script contains bugs (as you experienced) and possible bugs (in certain scenarios).

But it also does something, at least it tries, to do something which is in practice not a good way to overcome the character limit. For starters there is probably a flood protection in Messenger/protocol itself which prevents you from updating the PSM too much.

Secondly, there is a delay (which is way bigger than some milliseconds) before your contacts actually will see the PSM updating. So, in effect, they will not see your swimming PSM as you intended or want.

Thirdly, updating the PSM that often is extremely annoying to your contacts. It also requires constant data traffic as well as from your internet connection, as from the connection of your contacts...

All in all, I advice you to not use that script.

Also note that a PSM is not a book. A PSM is meant to hold some information, but it is not meant to hold 10K of texts. For normal use the maximum character length for the PSM is way big enough.

If you still want to use more characters, use an addon which is capable of boosting the character length of the PSM. But by using a script this is not possible (even if the script was bugfree, which this one is not)

what i liked of this script is the swimming message, not the character lenght boosting, wich i agree is quite unuseful.. anyway you've listed enough defects in this program that as you say  even if it was bugfree is still to avoid.. thanks!

... i didn't explain myself... i don't care the lenght, i wanted the swimming effect and nothing else!!!! and if there was a way to:
save script's settings
1 automatically remove script when exiting wlm
2 reinstalling it autom. when opening wlm again
3 reloading autom. script settings

i'm so stupid that i would use this script anyway... just to see that damn effect, no matter the data traffic amount!!!
my foolishness surprises me.. lol!!
