Appearoffline & offline by MessengerPlus!Live on 02-13-2007 at 09:22 PM
I figgerd out away to find out if some one was appearing offline or was offline.
If you ping a contact that is apearing offline it is a shorter delay after the toast ends than on line.
Example,
Toastends>20seconds>PONG (apear)
Toastends>22seconds>PONG (Not)
So, could there be a script that times this then will tell you if they were offline or a.offline.
I tested this twice and the timeing was right., if there is allready a script that will do this i am sorry to bother you all,
Thanks

It wouldn't work for people who don't have MsgPlus!Live and those who've disabled ping requests.

Not to mention that pinging is by no means a good way to determine this.
For some people the difference might be 2 seconds, for others it might not. And you will have no idea at all as how long a "normal" ping should be.
Even for the same contact, the ping time can vary enourmously...
This method will not work at all, not even in the slightest smallish way...
sorry
