Hey I rarely use the "Out To Lunch" status because I have a custom eating status. Anyways cant a plugin made so that it can detect between a selected hours it can change it automatically to "Out To Breakfast" or "Out To Dinner" because "Out To Lunch" at 8PM just sounds wrong to me and I never use it.

i like this idea!

does anyone who knows about this know if its hard?

why not just stick to custom statuses? they're there for a reason

That would be a nifty feature, but at the moment it's not possible because it would require your contact to install the patch/plugin as well - if they don't have it, no matter what time of day it is or how many meals you're out to your contact's list will still show you as being out to lunch!


*Sorry Supersonicdarky, I was referring to the first post.

no they don't, it will still be a custom status, except that it changes automaticly at certain hours

You can use the scheduler in plus to change your status at certain times of the day.

that's not what he meant

what he needs is a scheduler that changes the status pre-set at sertain times of day, not change the status which he has because he doesn't east at the EXACT same time every day

but it would be easier if you just had 3-4 presets and used a different one everytime:

Um no it wouldnt be easier lol the whole point of the plugin is to choose "Out To Lunch" and automatically according to the time of day it would adjust to "Out To Breakfast" or "Out To Dinner". And it wouldnt require Plus! or anything else because its a custom status which (I think) dont require the other person to have Plus!.
This plugin is VERY possible.

BTW Supersonicdarky.....its very stupid to have a Out To Lunch MSN Messenger status and a Out To Lunch Custom Status.....I see no point to it....The only is a auto-reply message but thats it.

Plus custom statuses do require the other person to have plus. Other wise they see {Status tag} in your name.
I dont really see the point of this plugin when the same effect can be acheived by using 3-4 custom statuses

And to use a plugin you need plus!

And to see the plugin's special status you need the plugin

Why not just make a custom status and let the task scheduler change your status
