Offline Protector


Offline Protector initially merged two useful scripts: IMoffline and YOU'REoffline. Combined, these two scripts could prevent accidental use of the features in Messenger allowing you to send messages to offline contacts and to send messages whilst appearing offline. Now the functionalities of both scripts are included in just one script and have been extended to work better together and to be more helpful.

The first feature (from IMoffline) allows you to receive a confirmation dialog when you try to send a message to a contact whilst your status is appear offline, and the other feature (from YOU'REoffline) allows you to receive a confirmation dialog when you try to send a message to a contact who is offline or appearing offline.

The settings for both these features are customisable and either or both can be enabled at the same time.

i knew you were gay voldemort.

Thanks for all your idea's. I think I'm just gonna un-weird-ise what I have and stick with Offline Protector as alexp2_ad suggested.

EDIT: updated, see first post

This lovely script also shows an alert if you use a Plus! command in a conversation window with an offline contact. A little useless, seeing as it is not really text I'm sending

Could you remove the notice in such cases, or should this be considered a limitation?
