a few small suggestions by Loser_523 on 06-30-2005 at 07:44 AM

I just have a few suggestions that I think would improve the Messenger Plus! addon a bit.

My first suggestion is some sort of automatic font sharing. MSN already has automatic background sharing, a file sharing feature, the ability for users to copy the emoticons that other people have used, and MsgPlus! has now introduced the automatic custom emoticon sound sharing. To go with all this, I would suggest implementing an automatic font sharing feature, so when you enter a conversation with another MsgPlus! user who doesnt have the font youre currently using, they would automatically download and install the font, or get the option to do so.

Another suggestion would be to add the option to change the automatic answering machine responce (when you change your status to away, and then just add the information manually instead of creating a custom status) instead of having to retype the whole message over again if you made a mistake in the message or the filtering or the Be Back time.

I cant remember the other suggestions i had, so I'll just post these two for now. I hope I can recieve some positive feedback about them. :) thx

The idea of automatic font sharing has been discussed before - you can read about it here.

For your answering machine response,  there is a personalised status so you can use preset automessages if you use them a great deal. This may not really solve your problem, but as they are preset you can easily change them in the preferences.
OR - You could always use cut & paste to copy your original message - that saves you retyping the whole thing 8-|

sorry but that feature would just be plain annoying, think.....somebody just downloads plus!, finds out they have the feature and bugs everybody in there contact list with "font sharing"
Please don't discuss this here, continue discussion about this "feature" here: http://shoutbox.menthix.net/showthread.php?tid=43649
to prevent creating another thread with all the same arguments over and over again ;)
