As you all know, open convo notifier isnt 100% reliable because of Microsoft "clicks" to retrieve your DP...

But alas, to figure out a geniune "click" from a microsoft one, do this:

When you get a pop up saying someones opened your convo, click it to open theres too.

Leave it open, but minimize it

Usually, if a person hasnt spoke in the convo, it most likley means its a microsoft click. BUT, after around 2 minutes, if it says the person has left the convo before theyve spoke, for me it means its a geniune click and theyve closed the box again. If nothing happens and the convo stays open, theyve either opened it and left it, or its a microsoft click.. The way to distinguish the two is simple: If youve spoke to the person earlier in the day, its a geniune click because microsoft already has the DP's. If you havent spoke to them yet, its a microsoft click.

Now it all seems a little jumbled up i know, and probably wrong because of many things
(they could just leave the convo open, but i dont know anyone who does that...)
but it could be looked into and hey i might be right

Thoughts?

i would try not having a display picture i have and it seems better

Thats a good idea... but i kinda like my DP lol Id be lost without it now...part of msn for me but its good thinking

Just don't use the Open-Conversation-Notifier...it's not important, the important one is the Close-Conversation one, and the only "fake" one is when it says "has left the conversation" after 15 seconds of inactivity. If it happens again, it means the person really did close the window.


Or if it says "left the conversation" soon after a message was sent by the other person, it obviously means they closed it.

Whar the hell would you want to know when they OPEN the window for?

TO go ahead of them and type "AHA I CAUGHT YOU! I TYPED FIRST!" ?

I know, i use closed notifier, love it.

And the reason for open convo notifier is 1) is a good block checker, if the dummies sto0pid enough to open your convo when theyve blocked you. And 2) if someone claims theyre not there, and they open your convo, youve caught them out Has many uses.

He's got a point. And tbh, I think all those notifiers are pointless, who really cares if someone's opened/closed the window? lol

Hmm, tbh, I don't think that's anything important lol. Sometimes people are set to away because they're busy... and someone blocks you cause you've annoyed them or whatever. Shrug. This is just my opinion though. heh

No one would ever possibly be avoiding anyone else for any reason.
