I would like to suggest a feature be added to messenger plus to disable the ever-annoying "A new version of messenger is now available" message that pops up each time you log into messenger.

I do not know if this is possible or not, but for those of us whom do not wish to upgrade, it would spare us the annoyance of seeing that message all the time.


Thanks

i love this guys Suggestion, kinda like my Universial CVR patcher idea eh *nudge**nudge*lol seriously the protocal would be different in the messengers right? think about protocall!!!, think about it. ok fine there is some ups and downs of using older versions like  1.0 or w/e

The message could in theory be disabled, but Plus won't include this due to the common fact that upgrading is better. And if you keep using an older version at some point the protocol is going to reject the older version client...The benefits of upgrading far out way the reasons not to. Security holes and the like have been found in older versions, so it would not be an improvement to add this...

If you want to, you can probably edit some hex to "trick" the messenger servers think you have the latest version

I agree with Anubis on this one. It is always a good idea to have the latest release version of Messenger, as older versions are less secure and probably buggier.

While I still feel such a feature would be nice to atleast be built into the plus program itself, if that cannot happen can someone atleast tell me if theres anyway I can manually disable it on my end?

I'm not a programmer lol.

Standard answer: MessenegrDiscovery has it .

but the thing is that you don't get alerted when there is a new version, only much later then you may get to know of the new version which *may* be much better

If someone were that paranoid then they shouldn't turn it on... I think what he wants to do is turn it off

Maybe it's just me ...

Download Messenger Discovery From here: www.messengerdiscovery.com, Its a seperate extension from plus! and some of its features react with Stuffplug, so if you have stuffplug, then I wouldn't download, if you don't then, MessengerDiscovery will rid you of you problem and you'll have a few decent features aswell..
