I know of someone who has a feature that allows him to detect people whenever they click on his name or to his picture even though they aren't messaging him (nor typing).  Since he's so anal about not sharing where he got this from, I'm hoping someone here knows what I'm talking about and can share the source of where they got this feature from.

Thanks.

stuffplug NG currently has this sort of feature - migt be what you want!

Hey,
but stuffplug don´t show me when somebody clicks on my pic.
It only shows me if somebody open a chat with me :/

Or do I have an old version?

i thought that was the case too - but it does show you if some 1 clicks your picture - contact card - im not sure if it works with your name too

No no no there is a connection between the two users when you download a display picture or open a convosation.

Stuffplug does not detect when a display picture is clicked

oh- it does for me -when some1 clicks my d/p - contact card - it tells me som1 has opened a convo - i know this because i have tested it whilst using my other addy and polagramy maybe its just a beta fault

There is no method to see whenever someone simply clicks on a name in the contact list, nor on a display picture!

This is because there is nothing send to the contact when you do this...

-------------

However! What Seifer_FF8, and others, most likely mean is when you double click on a contact. In other words when you open a conversation with that contact... When you do this, MSN Messenger sends a special message to the contact which request a connection. This is how open window notifiers, like the one in StuffPlug, work...

Or, when you view the contact card of a particular contact...
When you do this, again a message is send to the contact, requesting an update of the display picture. Thus, again, this message can be intercepted and a notification can be shown.

-------------

But note that, both messages (the update display picture and open conversation) actually are the same kind of message. And because of this, you will often have false notifications in "open window" notifiers, since there is no clear indication if it is a display picture update that is requested, or a open connection/window request....
