Okay, I have thought this for a long time, but I think that it would be awesome to have a little sidebar in firefox or internet explorer that would make it so that you can view and talk to your contacts while you are surfing the web. So, if you read this patchou, if you ever have some extra time or something, this could be a good idea... I dunno, I think that it'd be awesome.

webmessenger??? save as a bookmark and tick the option box of LOAD THIS PAGE IN SIDEBAR

i dunno if it would work, i see no reason why it shouldn't

Maybe that'd display the messenger thing... but it probably woudn't work for contacts.

It's probably best written as a Firefox extension that finds all contact windows and embeds them in a sidebar. When Firefox is closed, it would then recreate the original chat windows.

That's a good idea raceprouk , since I use Firefox and Firefox rules!!

tht would take some uber leet coding i think

Probably, but it'd be worth it... I'd agree that it should be done as an extension in Firefox... since that's what everyone is using now including me...

That would be totally cool anyone willing to make it?

ask chris, i think he has some knowledge with firefox extensions was it he who made the msgplus toolbar taht i now use

I dunno Chris... and I dunno how to program so... yeah I dunno what to do. Someone that knows "Chris" outta contact him and ask...

Thanks...

This might be better implemented as an improvement to Plus' docking feature. If plus could dock to the side of the screen, and have other windows maximize around it, then you'd have it as a sidebar, always visible. the only problem is, this would apply to all applications, not just the browser.

maxthon browser already has this feature as a plugin.

is there a plugin for internet explorer?

No...  I've looked all over. There isn't even a plugin for the Maxthon or whatever its called browser, so don't even try it. You can dock the main window to the browser, but it has no effect on the conversation windows. So...  yeah if there's anybody out there willing to program is (I would but I dunno how to program ) then please try... I think it'd be a great plugin,

an alternative is to have one in the taskbar
for example, click and dracg my computer to the right or left edge of the screen, it generates a box with all the icons

you could use that idea to run it, you could also have buttons like in firefox to switch through the convos

That's a good idea about the switching contacts thing in Firefox... but yeah I don't really get what your talking about with the My Computer stuff... seems kinda complicated. Anyways, I was thinking that in the browser there needs to be some kind hot button (like pressing Ctrl + M) to get into MSN Messenger really fast or something...

woudn't that be editing browsers apearence in an Illegal way?, and MSN Messenger?

Firefox dude, Firefox
and if editing msn was illegal, we would have no msgplus

PS: I'm not a Firefox freak,every browser has pros and cons

That's why you make an extension for Firefox... that's not illegal. You shouldn't even have to edit any code in MSN Messenger, therefore, not illegal.

Why not? People make extensions a lot for Firefox, so I don't see why they couldn't make this.

And I'm not a "fanboy".
