I have MSN 7 lates version. In the contact list contact's show with their nicknames and to the left a smal thumbnail of their display picture. So far normal. But today I noticed that one of my contacts has a blinkingyellow star showing to the left of his display picture in the contact list. Does anyone know what plugin/patch is he using to create this?
Thanks.

If a little orange star (or flower, or sun... whatever you call it) appears next to a contact list icon that person is Gleaming.


gleaming gleam msn spaces update contact list icon

In short, this means the contact person has made a change to his or her MSN Spaces blog.

these stars show that the contact has added a new post to his msn spaces blog, this is a built in feature of msn messenger 7, not any plugin or patch.

just click the star to see the contact card and click "My Space" to visit their blog

3rd Dimension, what kind of change to the MSN Spaces blog does it refer to? Is this a built in function of MSN 7? And how can I locate this contact's blog address? Thanks.

I clicked on the contact's display picture and there's no reference whatsoever to any web address or blog. Also I don't see "My Space" button either. I think I disabled the "My Spaces" button with A-Patch, but the contact's blog address should still show up by clicking his display picture, right?

the "My Space" link is on the contact card underneath the contacts name, it has a orange star thing by it

This contact is online with an "Away" status. Yes, the contact card pops up to the left after clicking on the contact's display picture in the contact list.
The contact card's content is the following:
- The first page has his display picture and his nickname to the right of the dp. There are three buttins below: a send instant message, a send email and a send wink one.
- The second page has his email address and below it his home, work and mobile info.
That's everything that shows on his contact card, as said, no reference to any blog address.

Yes, I've tried refreshing by signing out and in and keeping the cc open for a while. Still everything as described in my previous post shows without any blog address. I'm now more inlcined to suspect that this contact is using some trick to make that yellow star show without worrying about his blog...

Ok, I forgot about that, I thought I only disabled the "My Spaces" button from the contact list. I'll do that right away, thanks.

Yeah it has disabled the My Spaces button from your contact list and contact card, this is why you cannot click on any visible links to go straight to your contacts blog update
