Recently, I have been getting alot of stick off my friends for trying to send Custom Sounds, while, unbeknown to me, they didn't have msgplus! So i was thinking... RE: msgPlus! Feature Suggestion by user27089 on 04-03-2005 at 09:42 PM
That would mean connecting to each of those users computers, wasting valuable bandwith etc... There is no real point to it, you may aswell ping them, and if they complain just tell them you're testing something and explain to them... you can even make a quick text: code: just advance it from there onwards... I'm pretty sure that there used to be a feature where you used to hover over their names and a little circular plus! logo appeared . RE: msgPlus! Feature Suggestion by Dane on 04-03-2005 at 09:45 PM
Technically, there is no way to just "know" if they have Messenger Plus! without some server interaction, probably where Patchou would have to store a users passport address in a database and have Plus! access that database. RE: msgPlus! Feature Suggestion by Craga89 on 04-03-2005 at 09:52 PM
Ohhh, thanks for the quick response guys! RE: msgPlus! Feature Suggestion by Craga89 on 04-03-2005 at 09:58 PM
Just another quick question though. RE: msgPlus! Feature Suggestion by Ezra on 04-03-2005 at 10:00 PM /Sound <name or ID #> RE: msgPlus! Feature Suggestion by Craga89 on 04-03-2005 at 10:07 PM
Oh cool, thnx Ezra! RE: msgPlus! Feature Suggestion by Ezra on 04-03-2005 at 10:13 PM That only shows it when you pinged that person, if you never pinged them it doesn't show, and it doesn't automaticly update. The info could be outdated RE: msgPlus! Feature Suggestion by riahc4 on 04-04-2005 at 12:07 AM

quote: I'm pretty sure that something alike existed to do with the contact list and those who actually had messenger plus! installed, unsure though, my mind is a bit foggy, that was back in the 6.2 days... RE: msgPlus! Feature Suggestion by CookieRevised on 04-04-2005 at 02:25 AM
quote:Asked before (search the forums ). And no, this will never be done. quote:1) People can disable the response to the /ping command. 2) If you want to know their version, ask them to type (!VER) if they have Plus! quote:Something like that never existed and never will. What you mean is the extra Plus! menu that appeared when you hoover over a contact. But this has nothing to do with them having Plus! or not. (And the 6.2 days are far from over, it is still the official latest version. And even after 7 will be released officialy, many users will still use 6.2 for a long time) quote:that would certainly be an invasion of privacy... quote:No it wont!!! You have to press the ping button, which will do exactly what the /ping command do. The information stored in the contact information panel is what the last ping result was (weither you use the ping command yourself, or pressed the button there). As Ezra said, this will not be done automatically, and when your contact uninstalls Plus! or even disables the answering to the Plus! command, this information will not be updated unless you ping them again. |
