Important Poll for Messenger Plus! by Patchou on 09-25-2005 at 06:39 AM

Hey everyone,

I've modified my stats a little bit in the next version of Messenger Plus! to be able to count users rather than computers. For this stat to be as precise as possible, I need you to answer to the following simple question on this poll: do you connect on the same Messenger account on more than one computer regularly (at least once a week) ?

Thank you :)
Patchou

Patchou..just a Tip. you might wanna put the Question in Bold  make it easier for other people to read the question properly

Err...

1. Does signing in using Web Messenger count as "connecting on the same Messenger account from different computers"?

2. Do the other computers I use to sign in need to have Plus! installed?

How will a poll of the forum community help, when the people who use Plus (involved in the statistics) will be in a much greater number and have nothing to do with the forum?


RE: Important Poll for Messenger Plus! by Mike on 09-25-2005 at 09:08 AM

Well ... yes, I do...
I sign in from the two computers I have at house, where both have Messenger Plus! installed, and I also sign in from an intenet cafe where they dont have Plus! installed :(

But, other people sign in too from the same computers at house...

I have a small network of three PC's and I use them all for MSN every week.

I have to agree with Anubis here, you should be asking the majority not us the minority. Our habits will be a lot different from the majority imo.

I only use the one computer and anbuis is right you should write up something for the main site or make sure people who come on these forums visit this thread :)

No i dont but yeah i like the idea of having stats per account and not per computer cause other people also use my comp in my family. So they are not counted in the stats *-)
Like there are 3 - 4 ppl at a given time in my house but only 1 is accounted for ..... so the no. of users is more than what the stats currently show :)

RE: Important Poll for Messenger Plus! by matty on 09-25-2005 at 08:35 PM

I think it's refering to do you login into multiple computers atleast once a week that has Plus! installed. Since Patchou is keepnig track of how many users he has it would need to have Plus! installed.

I say have an MD5 hash of the email address sent to the server along with the other stats to keep track of how many unique users he has.


RE: Important Poll for Messenger Plus! by mwe99 on 09-25-2005 at 09:56 PM

The question is not if you once connected with another PC, or sometimes use the internet cafe to get online. The question is if you use more than 1 computer on a regulary basis to connect to msn. eg: everyday during the day from school and in the evening from home.
RE: Important Poll for Messenger Plus! by Idium on 10-01-2005 at 10:57 PM

I don't, but I'd like to. My other computer has no network and my school blocks it :(. (that means no)
