sorry i said nick name not screen name
(like when you right click and go add nickname)

I made a script.. for nothing...
How do you make it say there contact name though? The generic message for me is there email address.

EDIT :
Odd, it shows there nick name now..., instead of email...

Ill see if I can mod my script to show that.

EDIT 2 :
I cant find out how to trace someones custom nick name, anyone got any ideas?

bigbob85,

Custom names aren't supported anymore in Plus!Live. If you're talking about the nickname which you can set in Windows Live Messenger itself, then there is currently no way to grab/use/edit these in a proper way.

I had a feeling thats what the case was.

lol
sorry
i have custom nicknames for all my contacts it works for the sign in message but not the sign out message
your saying it can't be done aren't you

if you are using Windows Live Messenger then you can't have custom names as that is no more included in Plus!.

You probably mean "nicknames" in Windows Live Messenger. Be carefull in what you call stuff in cases like this, otherwise it is highly confussing for people who don't know the full details.

"Screen names" are the names people set themselfs.
"Nicknames" are the names you can set for people yourself in Windows Live Messenger; they overwrite screen names.
"Custom names" are the alternative names you could set for people in Plus!3.

oh ok sorry i didn't relise the difference between custom names and nickname but up there i was calling them nicks
and 4 i'm running msg plus version 4.01.0.240
and using nickname. rightclick>add nickname.
and i want that to show in a sign out toast.
but it's sounding impossible

Well I would like to know this but in other way, I'm looking for a script that notifies who's offline but he/she is online... I mean he/she set only the status "offline", but he/she is online

got me?

Thanks

Not possible. Appear offline is there for a reason...if ppl want you to see them (know they are on) they'll go to online.
