I don't know why I didn't post my patch on these forums earlier, but hey, better late than never

Also, I'd really appreciate any constructive criticism, comments, or suggestions for new features, etc, etc...

It's easier for me if you post the above ^ requests on My MSN Space, but if you're unable to do that, just post in this thread

Thanks

Hey Ahmad, nice to see you found your way to these forums

Your patch has been refered to several times already see:
RE: Two Things! 'Click here to..' & Wont go in screen corner!
RE: Remove 'Click Here to customize MSN Messenger'

Well done

Thanks traxor, Sunshine.. I actually came across those 2 threads, and thought, hey! I should officialy introduce the A-Patch to the forum

This sounds very similar to the Mess Patch on Mess.be. Except for the fact that the Mess Patch installs a few other things, such as custom games.

Please, if you have something to say that isn't constructive or encouraging, please don't post in this thread.

Thanks

ahmz, nicely done! great patch-ii love it!
i like it, it removes 2 ads! i just need one patch to patch everything i wanted! thx again

Good work dude. Seems good. I'm getting it

Im sure your patch is great and stuff, but why should people download your patch rather than the popular Mess Patch? as they are very similar.

did we? we all think your patch is great. if you could add the other messpatch features, i'm pretty sure it'd be MUCH, MUCH popular. why don't you at least give it a try ?

other than that i can assure you i've always loved this patch.

---

please add all mess.be patch features you're missing and a description to explain in which way they modify messenger...
also add if you can:

- Idle status patch for all messenger languages (not english only)

- "user is typing a message" patch

- the ability to patch already patched messenger so I can apply mess.be patch for some features and then yours (for example yours plus mess.be for custom games patch, polygamy etc etc)

Any release date?

You should also mention that most of those patches are illegal. They edit MSN resources (the .dll and the .exe), which is illegal under the license agreement.

Just a few questions: is there an option in what to remove, or does it remove everything you mention? I would like to remove just the ads, notinhg more. Is it possible?
