Patchou has many many friends who he sends test versions to if he needs an update testing.  I guess if you manage to become really good friends with him then you'll become a tester.

When he was developing the first release of MP2 there were a lot more testers who were signed up to do extensive testing.  Until (if and when) there is a Messenger Plus! 3 I doubt very much that testing on this scale will be needed.

To be honest, I don't see the need to be a tester any more :undecided:... there's nothing particularly interesting to test and what I have on this version of plus is more than I could ask for :d apart from the display picture bug and keeping the personalised status suffix :gfdrin: and waiting isn't hard

Ermm Patchou has to trust you lots and lots and lots!

Also you have to be able to accuratly describe whats wrong [which is a lot harder than you think]

Oh and we're well past mass beta testing now anyways

I was a tester for the first version of MPlus! 2.0 ^^... but my work has ended .... I think ... Even so I'm still looking for bug's...


RE: How do you become a msg plus tester? by generationy on 09-18-2003 at 06:06 AM

You don't have to be best pals with Patchou but it does help a lot.... you can find  Betas posted all over the web... and report any bug found in the forum ... theres always another way around things.... Patchou thnx again for Messenger Plus!


RE: How do you become a msg plus tester? by volkl on 09-18-2003 at 10:13 AM

i dont really see wat the big deal is about testing it anyways...? is it really that great?:S


RE: How do you become a msg plus tester? by Mnjul on 09-18-2003 at 01:22 PM

To become a Plus! tester, you need enthusiasm and pretty-good computer skills (that may have to know how to edit registry, blah blah blah etc), and the most important, won't leak the beta...(that reminds me there were dodgy people leaking alpha versions of Plus)

I already have my name in About Box if you have your Plus! in Traditional Chinese:p


RE: How do you become a msg plus tester? by generationy on 09-18-2003 at 08:29 PM

Being a tester is great besides  the fact that you feal a sense of satisfaction whe you report a bug or help solve a problem.....It's also kinda cool to say "I GOT SOMETHING YOU DON'T"... I've tested loads of software but even if my contribution may be minimal in some case it is important nevertheless....


RE: How do you become a msg plus tester? by Stigmata on 09-19-2003 at 08:20 PM

i duno i just want to be the one who helped out a genias at work, i got to admit the name would be sooooo cool as well


RE: How do you become a msg plus tester? by Vantage on 09-20-2004 at 09:19 PM

Honestly I think we already have enough testers nevermind anothe whole thread for the 100th time. Patchou desides who he really wants to tests his software, yes there are some people that do post the betas and alpha's on the net but i guarentee there will 75% of the time be nothing more than a virus and illegal edit of msgplus. I mean yes it would be cool to test but most people just want it to show off not even bother looking for bugs. I mean just imagine for you having 100 people starting the same thread a day over and over asking to be a beta tester with 10 000 PMs a day. Almost all asking to become beta tester, woudn't that get annoying?

MOST people... I'm not one of em... i am just tierd of sitting here with nothing to do...

RE: How do you become a msg plus tester? by RebelSean on 09-20-2004 at 09:29 PM

Lets not bring back old threads, specialy when there a year old! k thnx..and Guillaume your chances, and mine and most other people, of getting to become a beta tester is slim to none....Mostly because we haven't been on the forum a long amount of time like the other beta testers have...


RE: How do you become a msg plus tester? by Moo on 09-20-2004 at 09:31 PM

:( This "sitting here and doing nothing" crap is getting boring... I'd like to do something... how about translating, I can translate into french... anybody need translations???
