Shoutbox

would love to know if its possable and if someone wants to make it..

a script that makes you more aware that your contact is offline, instead of just that small yellow info bar, i need something more visible because im sick off accidently sending offline messages thinking my friends are still online after just having talked to them.

please, would be great if anyone can do it. will.

Would a locked textbox be an option?
Like, you can't type anything at all?

It should be pretty easy...

yeah that could be alright as long as you can unlock it.

but what would be best (for me) would be if it were just to turn red or something.. dunno, anyone?

Once it's locked, it can't be unlocked that easy, maybe with a timer after some period...

I was thinking about an alertbox, but that becomes anoying, I think

yeah, the first time you go to send an offline message it alerts you, but i ticked the box not to be alerted again, would be rather annoying, so something simple, a popup that only covers the text box, then fades away as you type, i dunno something like that. red and distinct.

I think the best I can do is a text in the textbox, saying the contact is offline
A red frame over the textbox would be way,way,way too difficult

Does someone else have an idea?

yeah thats a good idea.

kj, I'm on it now

I made this a while back. Very basic but it does the job that you want.

Features
- Shows a toast if the contact is offline and you send a message.
- Has a menu which can enable/disable it incase you do want to send a Offline Message

Known Bugs
- In a group conversation with people that you do not have on your contact list the popup still shows.
- Sometimes does not save settings.

Or you can use this one...
Notifies tou when a user goes offline

Well, it should do that, haven't tested it that quick, but it shouldn't give any problem...
