Hi

I have just had a idea that I think would be cool for a new addition, I registered my user just to post this! I hope this is in the correct place, if it isnt please move it!

anyway, whilst using msn, i saw someone was offline, and i also thought I need to send them a urgent message. I am sure that I am not the only one but I leave my pc on 24/7 and I have broadband, so my msn is always signed in, now I think it would be really cool if you could save a message for a person, then the next time that they log on to msn, your pc would automatically send them the message, this ensures that even if you are not there, or just incase you forget, it will automatically give the message to someone.

please say if you like this idea! I know that the developer does listen here, as many suggestions have made the releases, but this one is probably complicated and wont make it! but it is worth a try!

err...

i think this looks like with offline messaging
not same though but looks like the same

this has been discussed before
so why don't u use email?

edit: do i like the idea? no comment...

I dont like it really, cause well, u can always send an email

hm.. tbh I like the sound of it 'in theory' but i dont like the idea itself. If this was made a feature in plus! it could be taken as another way to message people, thus sounding a lot like icq. Which if you think about it, is really kinda like another way of emailing someone lol. sorry, but i dont really like/see a point to this idea.

We have this arguement about why its not like email every time. Seems this is a feature in much demand, and I can't see it being too hard to code, especially to a great man like Patchou.

Oh well, I can but dream...

/agree email's just a good for offline messaging... just right click on them and email them so the toaster will appear when they sign in...

Round and round in circles,
Poor Jeronimo did go,
To try to get a message,
To those who were quite slow

Offline messaging was the answer,
To satisfy his whim,
To send an instant message,
When his contacts did sign in

Email was suggested,
Tho this idea stunk,
For the problem with mail accounts,
Is that they are filled with junk

Messaging is faster,
No new program must be loaded,
So dearest writer Patchou,
Could this please be coded?

ROFL!!  well done!  lol..

hmm yes neway.. i agree with that btw
also, maybe there could be sumthing adding in to make then have to say that they have seen it, and keep sending it to them when they sign in till its been read, cause if they sign in and then back out realy fast without reading it, then it was kinda pointless.

personally I have one coment

msn messenger goes way back, I must of set my account up with hotmail years and years ago when it was brand new, so did all my friends just so that they could chat with me and other friends, hotmail since then sucks with space allowed e.t.c. and so many people use yahoo for email now or other things, and so they chat on msn but have diffrent email addresses, as you do not need to check your emails anymore, i know msn akllow you to connect witha  diffrent email, but wheny uo have been on it for years and have loads of contacts you do not want to switch over, for this i think this feature would be good!
