After having my internet connection drop while my status was set to "Away" when I signed back into Messenger it had set my status to away (like it should have) and Plus! poped up asking me to Personalize my status or just leave it as away... I personally don't think this should happen but its ok if there isn't a way around it.

Secondly the personalized status when they are set can they be shown where the actual status is? For instance instead of beside my name saying (Away) it could say (Watching TV) I know this maybe a bit difficult seeing how all the controls are wrapped into 1 but if it is possible it would be nice .

First point:
I doubt there's a workaround for this, as the client sets the status to 'Online', then StatusSaver (I assume you have that) sets it to 'Away'. Plus thinks this is a normal status change (which it is to be fair).
Actually, a time delay would be an excellent workaround...

Second point:
I'd love to see this myself, as sometimes I forget by Personalised Status shortcuts, so I want to double-check I got the right one.

First Point: MSN 7 has an option that will let you automatically sign you in as away. If that's what you're using, then it might be a good idea to force Plus! to not pop up that window on a status change until X amount of seconds after you sign in.

Second Point: The Beta version of Plus! shows you which personalized status you have set with MSN 7. Although I do think that the older versions of Plus!/MSN do the same thing.

First point:
Neither of you are correct. If your connection drops and MSN Signs you in within a certain period of time Plus! will automatically set your status to what it previously was. Now when Plus! does this it will set the status to Away and open the Personalized Status window. Either that or MSN is auto signing me in and Plus! is detecting the Away status and opening the window. Either of these statements could be true.

I didn't think Plus had that feature, which is why I thought you had to have StatusSaver.
Anyway, how I described its working I believe still applies (don't worry: I won't keep going on about it ), so all Patchou needs to do is implement a, say, 5 second delay.

Messenger Plus restored personalised-statuses when you sign-back, not "normal" status. My guess is that Mesenger 7 is doing it so I'll need to fix that.

As for point 2. sorry but I don't get what you mean

I think he wants his personalised status shown in the place I circle in my attached image:

haaa... well, thatwould be possible, however, dependingon your status, it would be very long but I'll see what I can do.

If possible, would you replace the status with personalised status in this tooltip too?
