There isn't a feature in MP!L which tells you that..?
There was a script, but...

It is no longer possible due to the way the protocol works.
However, you can be notified when your contact is typing..

typing to some1 else?
i don't mean to sound dumb....but i think a contact is showing up as idle when he's really not...and the person is at the pc...typing away....is there any way i can tell this

It's possible to use a script to set yourself as Idle.
I don't know of a way to tell if they're there or not.

ok...but i can be notifyed if a contact is typing....is that typing only to me....or to any1?
RE: contact has started a new chat? by Spunky on 04-21-2008 at 09:07 PM
Only typing to you... I don't see any reason the Messenger Team would want to breach your contacts privacy by telling you who they were speaking to.
@Mods: Why was my first post deleted?

hummmm ok fair enough....so is there anyway to know if a person is using 2 msn accounts at the same time...like polygamy...or if they have one of those chat programs that combines a bunch of messengers?
RE: contact has started a new chat? by Spunky on 04-21-2008 at 09:24 PM
Again, this is a breach of their privacy... Your contacts are entitled to work on their computer without letting everybody discover what they are doing or who with
Not unless you ask him and he's honest

Yes, it is maybe not what you've expected it to be. This function does not detect if a person opens a converstation with you, only when he starts a chat (and types a message to you)

i think he means when someone has started a conversation with other people, because he believes that the contact is only pretending to be idle and may be talking to other people

quote:ok, I see now. Looks like Patchou must find a better wording for that event, it was previously "Started a new chat (with this user only)" now it is "A new one-to-one chat has been started" but it is still not the best.
