I have DSL. And the System in Belgium want's the provider to disconnect user ones within 36 hours.

I think  a great function will be that when Messenger auto-reconnect that it get the same STATUS as it has had when it has been disconnected.

So that i doesn't appear online after reconnect when i realy was away.

If your messenger auto-reconnects in less than 1 minute and you had a personalised status, Plus 3 will restore it. For other cases, there was a plugins called Status saver, however I can't find it now and even I don't know if it's still out there.

Yep, it is still out there and it still works; it saves the status you had the last time you've chenged it and it will be restored to that as soon as you reconnect....

But the problem is, when you are disconnected (for longer then 1 minute), nor Messenger, nor Plus! will reconnect you. So in that case, even if the StatusSaver has saved your status, you wont be reconnected...

It saves whatever status you're in. So, whenever you restart messenger your online status is changed in an instant to the saved one; Your contacts will still see you coming online, but in a flash your status is changed to your last used status.

If you want it to startup with the same status each time regardless of how you left it the last time then make the file "Oldstatus.dat", which you'll find in your plugins-folder, read-only after you've changed to the status of your choice.

It needs Messenger Plus! to work.

You can download it here: http://shoutbox.menthix.net/attachment.php?tid=20188&pid=187701.
(simply put the dll into your plugins folder)

are you sure about that? I think I remember once when I was reconnected after 5 or more minutes not sure, tho.

yes, now that you say it... but IIRC it depends on what the cause was of the disconnection, messenger wont always try to reconnect you......

That is one very dodgy ISP... you could have msn somehow close and reopen and have it loggin auto when it loads up.... not sure how you'd get it to close/open though

again ISP

My ISP is Tiscali, but it is also the same for Skynet and Planet Internet...
I know that BelCenter does not disconnect but for other provider I'm not sure...

The disconnect process is only used to oblige change the users IP (cause a fix IP is another service that should be paied)
