@carajillo_dwsq: you can already color your nicks and you can already make sound notifications
@find_your_spot: the quick icon panels are new in 4.01.240 as you can read in the change log.
@find_your_spot: the eastereggs are different for each version. Eastereggs also have no functionality, hence they might be removed (and replaced by others) in updates.
@Stef: the /insult easteregg provides you with a small "insulting" game based upon the sword-fights of the adventure game The Secret of Monkey Island. It was available in Plus!3.
@Stef: what's new? Download and find out or read the change log.
@lukeamott: that is already included.
@PKPN: both those features are already available
etc...

I hate to be the party pooper, but people, please look around the preferences of Messenger Plus! before making requests for stuff which is already there or already talked about when it will be included...

Or at least read this thread (I know it is long, but if everybody keeps posting stuff which is either already available and/or already known when it will be included, this thread would become totally useless and be pruned. Aka: it is long because no-one bothers to read anything, so this might as well be pruned too)...

Even simply reading the change log might help too...

/exit  is missing

the quick texts....

in previous versions they changed preset texts when alone

ie. if y = why

then

'y are you here' would turn to 'why are you here'

but in 4.0

'y are you here' turns to 'why are whyou here'



just saying.. i like the old way better

Hoover over the textbox and you'll see the tooltip which explains how you can filter on whole words only:

Well, we can't block a whole group anymore (very usefull when you use msn at home & at work).

I hope this feature will be back soon. thanks

Hi and welcome, but please read this thread (or any thread for that matter) before posting...

CookieRevised's reply to "What features are missing in Plus! Live? (Why group blocking is not included)"

Hi,
I'd like to be able to manage my groups by hierarchy instead of a single list.

Basically, I would have two (or more) root groups (home and office) and then several others whitin each.

This would be a neat to prepare the RETURN of the very famous Group Blocking feature if you see what I mean... (if not just ask).

Thanks.

I just discovered another feature that is missing.

It's no longer possible to keep the Quick Emoticon Panel open by holding Ctrl. With Msgplus! 3 you could keep the panel open so you could add multiple emoticons at once, without having to reopen the emo panel.

There is one thing that I can think of that would be a good feature - how about a shortcut key for "sign out"?? You used to be able to do it using boss protection but now you can't - it keeps you signed in. It would just be a simple combination like Ctrl+Shift+Space that would sign you out automatically - instead of having to go to the main messenger screen then file then sign out. Just a suggestion!

You can set up a quick text to have a hotkey like Ctrl+1 and then have it send the text "/signout" to the chat window.
