Came across "Alert When A Signs In Offline" in MessengerDiscovery by saintgtril on 10-10-2004 at 08:23 AM

What does "Alert When A Signs In Offline" exactly means???? Does that means it alerts you when someone is hiding??? (appear offline) How, if this is done??

I believe it alerts you when a contact does sign in appearing offline like many patches and apps can do. Don't think it's compatible with the sign in appear offline option in MSN Messenger 7, though

No. Only if they automatically quickly go appear offline after signing in...There is a small detectable gap that Messenger discovery can detect in this process; if they just appear offline normally it won't know...
you don't know shit about it dude...

of course MD can see it.

saintgtril, with MessengerDiscovery, you can see when someone signs in on appear offline, and no he doesn't go online at all. you get a notification of status changed to offline, even tough the contact is already offline. that's how you know it ;)

code:
FLN abc@xyz.com\r\n
Yup. That's a bit of a bug, though.. Seeing as you weren't online in the first place. It would be much wiser NOT to set your status at all.. But then again, you wouldn't receive anything related to contacts anymore ;)

Agreed: it is a bit of a bug. But then, just because someone knows you signed in offline, doesn't mean you'll get conversations started... server still stops that happening.

with regards to  "saintgtril, with MessengerDiscovery, you can see when someone signs in on appear offline, and no he doesn't go online at all. you get a notification of status changed to offline, even tough the contact is already offline. that's how you know it "  from Millenium_edition, this feature is really cool.... do you guys agreed???

Imagine knowing who appears offline in your contact list

let me clarify, I was using messenger discovery, a friend signed in, when the friend singed in, Discovery alerted me that the contact signed in in "apear offline" mode...

He didn't, he doesnt even know such a patch or program exists to allow you to sign in as Appear Offline, and it showed him sign in at the same time discovery told me that he signed in as offline, must be a bug
