i've never really had stability errors with discovery but i have had problems using visual styles.

i've been using MD for more than a week now, I didn't get any error...

Most of the features in MD are in plus and plus' plugins already, but i do enjoy using the !imitate, block detection, disable "user is typing" message, msn window titlebar rename

however i find that:
the block detection is really inaccurate
remove "mobile" group dont always work
flood detection ALWAYS delete contact even if you choose to block him/her

but the signing in as any status you choose is really good IMO, at least i dont get any errors so it's still good

MD is REALLY dodgy, and is a proxy. Two of the best reasons not to use it. I find that it isn't really useful anyways, since most of the features are Plus! plugins and the rest can be done with Dimension, which is NOT a proxy.

huh? MD a proxy? what do you mean? im not familiar with proxies. Can you explain what they are and why they're bad?

A proxy is something that directs some or all of your internet traffic through itself. This can be bad because it can cause instabilities, security holes, and other malicious things.

i believe dimension acts as a proxy, otherwise y would jon make such a big fuss over trying to figure out a way to hook dimension into msn messenger 7.0 , since the "traditional" way that msn handled proxies was changed in 7.0, disabling or crippling the proper functioning of addons like MessengerDiscovery and Dimension.

As for the stability issues, they have improved tenfold since the highly unstable 2.0 , many people who have 98 and Me are experiencing problems (runtime errors), these will most likely be solved in version 3 anyway! So keep your hopes up, cause Messenger Discovery is about to go through a thorough cleanup as it is being recoded from the ground up (effekt is porting it from vb to c++, thus removing the annoying runtime errors)!

Dimension is not a proxy, since I can exit it without it disconnecting me from MSN, and I have all my Proxy options cleared.

Your run time errors are because you use an OS that is out of date (as a side note so are your clothes - kidding).  Oh yeah, if it's 'gay' then why has it grown to 1/5 of the popularity of Plus! and still in a couple of months? Hmmm......

Also not to mention the amount of people that want MessengerDiscovery features in Plus! is amazing.

Anyway I guess it's just you (and your closely related n**bs). I mean it isn't my fault you can't accept that Plus! isn't the only addon . And gay? I didn't know software could be homesexual. Shutup homophobe .

Peace out dudes .

Disclaimer:
You want your opinion about my software? Sweet. That was my opinion about you and what you have to say .

Don't take this as a swing at Plus!. It's not. It's a swing at who ever thinks they're cool in trying to start wars and who can only say negative things in this world. Children -_-.

Oh yeah, dimension acts as a bouncer.

Admin/Mod: Edit the name of this thread to Messenger Discovery problems. I shouldnt have used the phrase "is it just really gay"

Sorry eckocomplex im not having a go at you or your program
It just dosnt (and never has worked for me)
That may be because of my OS (winME) but i do get more than just runtime errors, unexpected program crashes, messenger problems (even after uninstalling)
Ever other developer/program configures thier software to work on other OS's than windows xp. there are those of us who cant afford to upgrade like you can.

At least document on your website (visibly) That this program hasnt been known to work with windows ME (and whatever other systems it hasnt worked with) And let us know that there is compatability issues.

Hopefully you will fix this in your next version.
Sorry for any offence.

I'm suprised Windows ME works for you. You should really upgrade to XP (at least) .
