I understands! good courage for web2live and good continuation ^^

hey, i really loved this script, that it could show me messages and i could send msgs back without opening the chat window (so I could use msn without parents knowing.)
I have now found two problems preventing me from using this script. Three, sort of
1. my preview box (after I updated msn) cut off the last line, so I can't see the last thing someone says, though I can see the four things before it.
2. When I type a message and press the arrow to send it, it either opens up the chat window (defeats purpose) or doesn't send at all
3. My preview box looks totally different to the screenshot of it presented on the download page, as it has no option such as recent messages from the top, it doesn't split where I Type into 5 seperate boxes, doesn't have a 'send' button (just arrows)

and a suggest (though it'd b hard) is perhaps somehow if we type a message and press enter it just sends to the most recent message received?

so summarised:
1. Get last line
2. Don't open chat window
3. Actually send message
4. Get WLM preview box from screenshot
5. Press enter to send message to person who last sent message to me.

yes, these are known issues,

1. this is due to the latest Messenger Plus! Live
2. this is happens if your current tab (if you use tabs) is the person that you are sending the message to
3. for some reason the screen shot hasnt been updated with the updating of the script.

sorry, but i do not have the time to be working on this script at the moment, its just too much to do when i am working on web2live at the same time.

firstly, thank you for such a fast reply.
1. I pretty much figured that out, but was hoping there was a solution
2. Before even if I was sending to my 'current tab' it didn't open, and now it opens even if i'm not sending to the current tab
3. The screenshot seems to have more options and looks much better than my current one...did u mean the screenshot has been updated not the program or was an older version like that?

1. if you know how to edit the xml then you can fix it for yourself
2. dont know what is going wrong here... might be plus doing something gay
3. the screenshot was an old version of the script, you can tell because it says v2.00.02 where this version is v2.00.07

thanks once again for the speedy reply! Hopefully this'll b my last post and I can let u get on with wat else ur working on.

is it easy to edit the xml? would that just involve making the box bigger? is it possible for u to quickly explain it or lead me to sites that could help me?

I have updated the script to fix the height issue of the preview box, about the focussing that is a little too time consuming to figure out for me.

just download v2.00.08 and it will fix it so that you can see all 5 boxes

Did you make this just today? is the "known bugs" wat i sed? if so, thanks! if not, i'm very unattentive (sorry for wasting ur time) and when will it be put on the 'find new scripts' page from Messenger Plus?

i updated the known bugs because of you, and i will submit sometime tonight if i remember... so it might be a few days

In case you're looking for 'bug submissions'
After I logged back in the wlm preview box looked like (see attached), which i thought was just lag but it didn't go away until i closed and re-opened the box.
