Picture stealer by PheonixGRX on 04-27-2010 at 01:21 PM

I remember in the old version I could view someones contact card, and it would say download display picture, but on the recent one it doesn't have it. I tried getting a script for it, but I'm only getting the small square, where the old version used to get the image that was uploaded. Is there a new script for this, or a way to do it. Thank you in advanced.

It isn't possible. The image that is transfered to the server is compressed in size to 96x96 pixels. This is the file that is transfered between the server and you. There isn't a way of gettnig the original one... well you could always ask your contact for it?!?

If the image is likely to be on-line, use TinEye to search for it or bigger versions.

It still does. Right click the contact > Messenger Plus! Features > Contact Information.

thanks Chris4 but I do remember getting the bigger image picture, how else could I have gotten my friends picture of Jimmy Hendrix in the full size without asking him?

Well if you previously did, it's unfortunately no longer possible as matty described.

Sorry to disappoint you but this was _never_ possible!

There never was any program which would be able to grasp the original full size picture which was used to make a display picture because that picture was/is never stored anywhere on the servers. Only the display picture (the smaller size) is stored and can therefor be grasped/'stolen'.

If you got a full size picture of Jimmy Hendrix it certainly was by using a display picture stealer or whatever similar feature or program..
