I really like Messenger Plus!

But one thing I find a little annoying being on broadband and always connected is when my connection resets for some reason Messenger reverts my status Online no matter what it was.  This is a problem because when I have my Status set to Away it resets and I get many of my contacts sending me messages and then wondering why I am ignoring, when infact I am not even near the computer.

Is it possible to get MsgPlus to remember my status and keep that status until I change it, even when my connection resets?

I would really love this feature to be added.

there is a plugin that can do this for you


edit:
DJMystic created a plugin for Messenger Plus! called StatusSaver.

How do i use this? seems that only 1 file is available. dill Thanks in advance

Put the file that is in the zip file (the dll file) in your plugins directory, and close (Exit) MSN Messenger and reopen it. Now, after you change your status to something else and you sign off, a file OldStatus.dat will be made in the plug-ins folder, and when you sign on again, it will change your status very fast.
If you wish to always change your status to a specific one after signing in, set your status to that one, sign out and make the OldStatus.dat file read-only

Thanks Tochjo, that was a very detailed explaintation
Btw, i was using JnrzLoader 6.2.0137 for my msn 6.2. I was wondering, will it conflict with the JnrzLoader after i applied this plug in?

That could indeed cause problems; there's just one file that stores your status, so there might indeed be problems when you use both this plug-in and JnrzLoader, unfortunately.

JnrzLoader will set you to Appear Offline, then StatusSaver will change it to whatever is in OldStatus.dat.

My response was more regarding polygamy

My Messenger already does this, I can't remember what i did to make it do so though. I think it was a Messenger Plus! registry setting or something.
