[suggestion] Timed nickchanges by SanderTje! on 08-07-2005 at 02:35 PM
I've been using MSG Plus! for a long time already and I do have a feature-request, a serious one.
In m'n nickname I always put where I'm, if I'm not at home. So for instance if I go to school, I do my nick as SanderTje! @ School, or SanderTje! @ Work...
I thought it would be nice if these events could be timed, so I can add for instance SanderTje! @ Train...
Yes, I like to be tracked down. But I want to avoid those questions on the cell phone like: "Where are you now?"

You do know Personalised Statuses are very useful for this? And for non-Plussers, it still apears in your nickname. Then, you can use the Plus! Task Scheduler to change to the correct Personalised Status.

I know that feature, but that's not what I ment to say... 
It's about nickchange(s) on certain time(s).

What he was trying to say, it's like, when it's 7:30, his status is 'Metro', and when it's about 8 AM, his status is 'Work' and like at 5 its at 'Metro' again and at 7 it's nothing.

Totally right! Would be even cooler if you could not just change the status, but the nick as well.

like raceprouk said, MSG Plus! personalised statuses add your status to the end of your nick, so it would appear as ' your nickname (on the train)'
So would this not be what you want?

Oh god.
He KNOWS about that, but he wants it to be autodone, AUTOMATICLY.

The Task Scheduler doesn't allow you to enter Plus! commands, since they need a conversation to work. However, someone could write a plugin for this.

No it's about my entire nick. I have looked for the plug-in's that could do this thing, but there's no one available who could do so.
If the Task Manager would allow commands, I think that will do the trick then...

Personally, I feel this feature is un-necessary and can be used against your contacts. It's very annoying when someones nickname constantly changes. MSN Messenger 4.x all over again.

Agreed.
