discovered a problem, not a bug

seeing as the settings for the nick change are stored in the .ini file, all users who log on to the computer get the same countdown

Solution: store the settings in the registry so the countdown is different per user

How to do this?
My sister's friends are starting to think she is a bit dodgy cuz her nick keeps changin to haydn

well it has to be programmed to store the settings in the msgplus registry

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Patchou\MsgPlus2\<email>\Preferences\Plugins\countnick.dll

* Eljay waits for cyberdude to do it

Not working at all for me cyber dude, maybe the .dll hasn't registered or something, I tried to register it, but it got messed up for some reason . I'll try some other means of registering it

no it has to be programmed into the plugin

It works perfectly for me (wasnt working, found out i needed to delete the temporary files, as i had the old one) but now when i click Ok in the configure window this appears:

------------------------------------
|            CountNick               |
------------------------------------
|Error Syntax In Date/Time  |
|Error Number: 6                 |
|Error Description: Overflow|
------------------------------------
Im setting Date & Time part as 0:00:00 (default) or 00-00-00 00:00:00 (all put in ) and i selected seconds & minutes, Counting up, and on N of seconds its 6 (default)

How can i fix it? I read this whole post and nobody seems to have this problem

About the Registry saving:
It will be programmed in the next version.. .. I have thought about this long time ago, I and my self also want this is in.. and it's not hard to do... It's easy... .. I just haven't had time recently prpgramming so a new update might take some time... ... But as stated before this release wasn't really ment to be a huge/world wide release, only ment for a few people to use it and then i'd update it over the time... But I see now that there are really great demand request for this plugin, so I think i'll finish this project before continuing on Tabbed MSN and Further Devolpment on Shortcut Plugin....

As the error says it's some error in the way you entered the Date/time...
Did you say you entered "00-00-00 00:00:00", or are you saying you entered it like that. "xx-xx-xx xx:xx:xx".. the date and time needs to be a valid date and time, eg: "03-04-05 09:10:11"... if you understand?... you cannot use 00 as a date.... the date needs to be speficied as well as the time.. in one of the next version most of these problems will be eliminated...

format for the Date & time is:
dd/mm/yyyy hhss

Yes exactly... :D.. Or almost... It's following you local computers settings...
Meaning if you local setting is dd-mm-yyyy hh:mm:ss then the program needs dd-mm-yyyy hh:mm:ss as the date and time.. if your computers settings is dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm:ss then the program would need /'s instead of -... if you have mm-dd-yyyy then the plugin needs the month first... exacllt how your local computer settings is set up like.. :D..
