Old plus feature that's no longer available by julianexp on 12-17-2006 at 03:27 AM

Hi there,

I remember with an older version of messenger plus you were able to see whoever opened a conversation window with you.

For example, down the right hand bottom side a pop up window would open and say "James has opened a conversation window with you".

I thought this was a very handy tool for seeing who was clicking me, unfortunately this feature isn't available any more?

Is there some where I could get a tool that does this?

Thanks.

this is very unreliable because of the messenger protocol...

sorry about this

Say if I installed a previous version of msn messenger or perhaps an older version of windows messenger would i be able to get that protocol running again?

thanks.

This wasnt a feature of msgplus, but a feature of stuff plug. Stuff plug 3 is not out for MP!L yet, and it wont include The notification, but there is a scruipt that does this, but its not reliable.

So basically what NanaFreak is saying...even that script it really is of no use anymore...and if I'm not mistaken this has been the case from MSN Messenger 7.0 onwards


RE: Old plus feature that's no longer available by julianexp on 12-17-2006 at 03:37 AM

If i installed that plugin and ran it with msn 6.5 would that feature work?


RE: Old plus feature that's no longer available by MattyRid on 12-17-2006 at 03:39 AM

maybe...but I wouldn't be holding high hopes...because it may have already been changed by then...I need to confirm when that change was to be able to give a 100% definite answer

1) dont think so
2) there is no 6.5 version :/
3) why would you use such an old version just for that feature, is it that important?


RE: Old plus feature that's no longer available by julianexp on 12-17-2006 at 03:40 AM

I found it to be very handy.

You can still try Convo Notifier

really if you were to go back for one feature, it is really pointless as you loose out on other features that all your other friends enjoy. And having a conversation notifier, to me anyway, defeats the purpose of having the surprise of someone messaging me. Always a good feeling when your surprised rather than being warned and thinking "oh here we go again"

Which i already linked to, so it must be of no use to him.

No, all your friends would have to using version 6.x I'm quite sure.  This is because of them getting DPs and closing connections after a certain amount of inactivity and a number of other things that have changed in the protocol that make this feature work unreliably.

Hey thanks for all the replies, conversation notifier doesn't work unfortunately :P

Conversation notifier works a little bit actually.
