It would be handy to show a countact list count somewhere on the "Contact list cleanup" screen (formerly "Contact manager").  This way, if you were cleaning out your contact list to a reasonable count (e.g. from 14? down to 120 or so), you'd know exactly where you were.  This would also be handy if you have your list sorted by groups.  It saves having to add the individual group counts or switching the view back and forth.  Just go into Contact List Cleanup to see the count, then if you have too many contacts, delete a few until the count reads something more reasonable.

Hmm simple idea, i like it and it would be nice just i know how many contacts you have in each section maybe . Me Personally have just always counted the Online And Offline Contacts Doesn't take long.

This should also be in the Messenger Plus! General Chat section, as Help and Support isn’t really for requests of suggestions
