HappyGoo,

I think your issue is not entirly the same as the one described as the top poster and has a very different cause. As far as I know this isn't so much a bug in Messenger Plus!.

The status of the desktop contacts first relies on the status of the contacts in Messenger. This is usually correct when you first start Messenger.

Now, status changes are events and its those events which come from Messenger, or rather the lack of, which causes the status of the desktop contacts to become out of sync.

If Plus! doesn't detect those particular events then it obvisouly will not change the status of the desktop contacts.

Now, apparently Microsoft has recently changed some things in those protocol events responsible for status changes. This causes Plus! to miss those events, and thus your desktop contacts will display the wrong status.

A new version of Plus! (4.83) is in the makes which will be again compatible with those new protocol events. So, my hunch is that this will also solve this desktop contacts problem. Keep an eye on the official site (http://www.msgpluslive.net/).
