borderline bug/feature request... (personalised status not 100% effective) by baggio4eva on 03-19-2004 at 08:26 PM

hey guys, i just noticed something really weird about messenger plus. i'm not sure if older versions of msn did this (i didnt think they did), but when you get kicked off of msn for one reason or another (bad connection on my part, or msn's servers going down), msn will automatically re-connect you (or try to).  What msn plus doesnt take into account is your status, so it doesnt save it once you have been reconnected.  So say for example i have my personal status as "sleeping", then my connection hiccups and i drop my connection to msn. when i get reconnected, i am shown as "online" automatically, as opposed to "sleeping" which i set manually.  I think msn plus should be able to recognize when the user has been signed off unintentionally (or non-manually), and remember the status next time they sign on.  Or you can have it as an option to just "save last status", rather than going directly to "online". Just a suggestion. :D
Later:D

If I remember well, Patchou will do something about that in Plus 3, so don't worry ;)

Isn't there a way to make it always sign you in as a certain status? Or was that just a Trillian feature that I'm remembering (alas that Trillian was bug laden, and then stopped being freeware)

there was a plugin called status saver by djm that allowed to do that. however i never used it and now i'm not sure if it's still available to download.

Here it is. It works very well, however I don't know if it also saves personalized statuses (I hardly use them :P)

o, and also i just checked out the status saver. yea it works but it doesnt save the personalised status :(. i guess it'll do for now unless someone has another solution:p.

Choli is right, this has been improved in Plus!3. It will be released in April so you don'T have much to wait :)
