Signing-out when trying to sign-in 2 accounts simultaneously by aloozer on 02-05-2009 at 08:11 AM
Hi All,
I've already enabled the option to connect to multiple accounts simultaneously.
When I tried to sign-in with my 2nd account simultaneously with the 1st account, during the process, Messenger signs me out of the 1st account which I've signed in first.
How do I get around this issue?
Thanks.

I'm afraid you misunderstood the meaning of that option in Messenger Plus!.
It is not meant to let you sign in more than once within the same Messenger application. It means you can sign in with another account in another Messenger application. So, in order to do this you need to start another Messenger instance.
This is because normaly Messenger will not allow you to start it twice. When you start the second instance, the first instance will simply be brought to the front.
So, the option in Messenger Plus! "Allow me to connect to several accounts simultaniously" allows you to start Messenger more than once. Which on its turn allows you to sign in with more than one account at the same time, but each account must be signed in within its own Messenger instance. This should also be explained in the text above that option.

Sorry I'm a bit confused..but i think that's what i did
Say for example i've signed in a@abc.com as my 1st account, and then i launch another Messenger instance by clicking on the Messenger icon again and I try to sign-in using my 2nd account for example b@abc.com, what happens is that I'm signed out of the 1st account.
My query is that, is there anything i can do to get around this? because that would mean I will have to re sign-in my 1st account.
I am just wondering if while signing-in my 2nd account while launching another Messenger instance, that i don't get sign-out automatically from the 1st account?

What you indeed should do:
After enabling that option in Messenger Plus! Live: "Allow me to connect to several accounts simultaniously"
1) Open a Messenger instance (let's called it A)
2) Sign in into Messenger A with a@abc.com
3) Open another Messenger instance (let's call it B)
4) Sign in into Messenger B with b@abc.com
Is the above the exact thing you do?
PS: If you sign in into Messenger A with b@abc.com then a@abc.com will be signed out. That is normal.
In normal circumstances you should be able to switch between the two and none should be signed out when you sign in with the other on the other Messenger instance.

oh nvm..i don't think its possible to leave account 1 to allow auto sign-in and account 2 as manual sign-in?
If not, i'll have to live with it.
