Adding an External COntact list to Msg Plus by battleborn on 10-19-2004 at 08:00 AM

Guys, dont you think Mr. Patchou should add a external contact list, or aka. Contact list enlarger into Plus. Many plus users have over the limit of 150 contacts, including me. And i dont wish to create another account to contain another hundred, because i would like to log in both at a time. And using polygamy, i have to type my password again and again for the second account

I vote yes, limited contacts annoys the piss out of me.


RE: Adding an External COntact list to Msg Plus by CookieRevised on 10-19-2004 at 08:14 AM

I voted yes, although this implies lots of changes and protocol handling (which Patchou has said in the past he wont do).

Oh, i see, man, that sucks. Hope patchou would change his mind

this is in the wrong section btw :undecided:

and there is already a program that does that, Messenger Discovery :D
www.messengerdiscovery.com
the feature is called "Extended Contact List"

At this moment in time, its not really needed as microsoft are increasing the amount to 250 i think or something around that figure, I voted 'no' because a lot of people have people on their lists that they have never/don't even talk to. I think that its just a waste of space tbh, but as its in popular demand at the moment, go for messenger discovery. 


RE: Adding an External COntact list to Msg Plus by battleborn on 10-19-2004 at 12:37 PM

:( But, i have friends who have like 5 accounts.and unless they have alot of contacts, whey wouldnt bother.

And as you mentioned, " People usually have contact they dont talk to"
all my contacts i will talk to right now, because over the time , i have deleted thsoe tht i dont talk to , and replaced with those who are closer to me.

So i vote yes again .

(Hope patchou notice this )

Oh ya, and messengerdiscovery doesnt work for me. i have downloaded the missing dll from the web, and placed it in the program folder . But it doesnt get logged on. Running Os. Win 98 SE. No Firewall at all. Just reformatted so all should have no clashse. When i said just, i mean 2 hours before i type this message

Nope it isn't... Plus! suggestions go to "MsgPlus General Talk".

True, but it doesn't work for lots of people...

This is only a rumour and nothing is confirmed. Also, I highly doubt this...

EDIT: The MSN Messenger development team said they "will try increase it a bit, but it isn't for the near futur". In other words, don't keep your hopes up...

And other people do have more then 150 active contacts...

Seriously............some of you talk to all 150 contacts on your list......?


RE: Adding an External COntact list to Msg Plus by CookieRevised on 10-19-2004 at 05:24 PM

Not that it is any of your business ;) but yes I do talk to them...

Some occasionally (once a month), others very often, others almost constantly (and those are the majority (+100 people))....

For me, MSN Messenger isn't the occasional fun-chat-buddy-client. But is a tool which I use for work: online meetings, etc. (hence I often block entire groups when I'm busy with a meeting and such)..


RE: Adding an External COntact list to Msg Plus by Choli on 10-19-2004 at 07:20 PM

I don't need it but also even if it's included, it'd only work in one computer.... I couldn't have 200 contacts @ home, add one more, to go work and see the 201 contacts I had @ home :-/


RE: Adding an External COntact list to Msg Plus by battleborn on 10-20-2004 at 12:08 PM

But i usually use msn at home... onli
