Sign-in flood prevention by Cammo on 12-08-2004 at 11:16 AM
Hey ppl,
I don't know about you but 1 thing that pisses me off heaps is when contacts sign off/on repetatively so your screen gets filled up with crap you usually don't really care about like 'oh i dropped my plate'.
If there were an option to only allow one sign off/on within 30 seconds that would be ace.
Not sure if it's been suggested before but I'm sure I'm not alone.

what the do is they probly block and unblock you.. the solution to preventing that tost Effect is by blocking them.

Perhaps Patchou could add a feature where you can limit how many notifications appear on your screen at once. Trillian 3 has this feature and it's very handy.

nah i know they're doing it to all their contacts... just one of those annoyances that would be good to be rid of.
They're worth talkin to, just when they do that it pisses me off.. lol.

I agree. There shoudl be an option that limits the number of "toasts".

The limit is already set to 5 popups on screen...
RE: Sign-in flood prevention by SlimShady on 12-13-2004 at 06:36 PM
We should be able to set the limit.
I would set the maximum to 2 or 3 popups at once.
RE: Sign-in flood prevention by Jimcando on 12-16-2004 at 08:48 PM
5 pop-ups on the screen is still enough to fill the whole screen. and then even when they disappear, most of the time more will come. we should be able to set 2/3 in a 10 second period or something like that.

wouldn't changing the popup limit modify the MSN main code/protocol?

Nope, it's dependant upon your screen resolution. I'm running 1920*1440 and I get 11 popups when someone blocks and unblocks me multiple times

RE: Sign-in flood prevention by kangie on 12-17-2004 at 10:26 PM
sometimes when i sign in, it shows all my contacts signing in at the same time.... how would the thing choose who to show?
RE: Sign-in flood prevention by Cammo on 12-23-2004 at 01:52 PM
I'd limit it to 1 per person.. that way you don't miss out on what other people are doing.
I don't mind the screen filling up for a second, just not 50 popups from 1 person for no good reason apart from attention seeking...
Like i said they're worth talking to except when they do that.
RE: Sign-in flood prevention by FrozernFire on 12-24-2004 at 07:46 AM
the little "X" is there for a reason. to me, those popups are nothing as they don't disturb me too much. if i need to click something underneath, i just close the popup. remember that once your popups fill the screen, newer popups will not be showed untill the first few disappears. i would rather have the time the popups are shown on the screen shortened
RE: Sign-in flood prevention by Sully on 12-24-2004 at 01:46 PM
This is a must have feature! I really hate it when I get floods of popups informing me that "Jimmy - Im In LoVE!!!!" has just signed in x10 times. One notification will do, not 5 times in one bloody second. It really does my head in, and for people with big contact lists - god help you!
Great feature that would be really popular!
