Sorry about multiple posts, I'm used to other forums that don't have the edit option up for as long as this. But thank you again for a great plugin, works once again, and I think you could be onto something here. If, on the first time configuring if you press cancel you get the errors... I'd suggest fixing this, as if the user isn't sure straight away how to configure, and decide to 'try it later' then the errors will be given when he/she cancels

It's ok.. ...
Hmm... Yes this will be fixed.. hopefully all bugs will be fixed eventually.. ... Hmm... But can you confirm that this error happens when you press cancel on the first run?... Or not?.. As I can't try it out right now... ...

Glad to hear it's working.. .. Well.. It was of course also supposed to..

I'll do a quick test right now CD, by this I mean I will delete every trace I have of Nickname Counter, install it from scratch, goto configuration and press cancel immediately. I'll report back.

Edit:

Well, I delete the two keys in the registry both local machine and current user values, re-installed the plugin, made sure keys had been re-made etc. Came to configure and oddly enough, when I pressed cancel...nothing happened... No errors etc.. it did as it was supposed to. So now I am stumped as to what the problem could be, I know there are some issues with MSN Messenger closing without warning (IE when not responding, and I terminate the process) but other than that...what you thinks up?

Hmm.. I'm not really sure then.. the problem might just have been an invalid setting that had been set and then when it loads it loads the setting and if that setting is not valid it might error... I've not done much error handling/testing of this so I can't tell you yet.. I will have to do some more testing uring next week... .. hopefully eliminate all bugs.. ... I didn't spend much time on this plugins so I never gave an garantuee that it was bug free... .. thanks for the testing and reporting...

No problem, if you need more testing just let me know, I'd be happy to comply

Also, a little suggestion here...

I know there's an option to add the masks yourself, and name what comes after it (Eg. %d Days, %h Hours and %m Minutes until my birthday!) and if you want there to be a difference between say ... 30 Minute's' and 1 'Minute' you could just include the 's' in brackets...But I dunno, I don't like how that looks (yes I'm picky) would it be possible to somehow make the plugin detect if the counter is down to 1 year/day/hour/minute and automatically change it to remove the 'S'. I know this could cause some confusion in other language and that's why you gave the option to input your own preference but I think it's worth looking at.

Edit:

On second thought, wouldn't having the 's' in brackets an an emoticon to a username anyway? I think this option should seriously be considered

This is a good idea, and I am also goin to implement this... .. It shouldn't be much work to do that... I will look into this, and hopefully include it... maybe make it like a tag like day[s] then it will write days when the count of days is above 1 and if it's 1 it will only write day.. I will just have to find a suitable way of doing this...

Great, good luck with it

Wow great. I never thought you would get around to it! Thanks.

Really nice work! many thx , very good this plugin .. first i had some problems .. but i had to download this other .dll and then it worked nice and THX

Bump!!! .. Just to let you guys know that I released a new version.. ..
