Hi there,

Recently I was wondering why my message toasts were coming up so delayed (the script that shows you what unfocused conversations are saying in toasts), then I realised that for some reason Messenger Live! Plus is only allowing one of its toasts to be displayed at one time. When did this start happening? I'm pretty sure before the last update (the one that included scripts with the installer) this didn't happen and messenger live! plus popups just stacked up like standard Windows Live! Messenger popups/toasts. I'd really like for that to happen again because there's no point in those toasts coming up after I've read the convo because they're only coming out one at a time...


Cheers,
Ash

I can confirm this.

To reproduce this easily, just use -dt-'s Rssreader, subscribe to a number of feeds and enable the pop-up notifications.

Confirmed, strange that I never noticed it before.

I just made a little test script that displays a few toasts and each toast doesnt appea until you close the previous one... odd.

No wonder I couldn't find anything about this previously... seems nobody picked up on it. Do the developers check these forums?

Its quite weird how it only seems to have started happening since the last update though. Must have been something intentional... because I don't see how "accidentally" there is a one toast limit.

Confirmed here too. Very weird. Never used to happen in the older versions :/.

Yes, Patchou visits the forums frequently.

Awesome. Hopefully they see this one and are able to fill us in.

I've known this for a while, because I use Rssreader on a regular basis.
I just thought the problem was only on my computer since it has never happened before.
The beta testers even didn't notice this, although the beta testing period was pretty long (about 2 months).
This must have started happening in the middle toward the end of the beta testing period, otherwise tens of testers must have found it.

On the contrary, I think it must be unintentional.
Maybe Patchou was debugging and forgot to restore the behavior, or for another reason.

Good point... I hadn't thought of it that way.


Perhaps this wasn't something that was in the beta versions? Could have been something that changed in between the last beta and the final version.

not to try and bring you down, but I don't use that script and I can reproduce it as well...perhaps not just that script is causing it.

WebAsh, do you have any scripts installed? If you do list them all.

Yeah its not just that scripts fault. That's not what he was meaning. He was simply saying that he was able to reproduce the problem (if that's what it is?) using a script, confirming that there is indeed a one-toast-at-a-time limit.
