It seems you don't want me to shut up yet

The shorter one seems like a bad 'thing in the middle'. On a scale from 1 to 10, I'd give the longest one a 10, and the shortest one a 9. The thing in between doesn't look very nice to me, because, personally, I see it as an unfinished sentence. When I read that kind of sentences, I always have some sort of 'sentence only half finished' feeling.

The shortest one looks better to me; it gives just to the point information, not a half finished sentence. Just as you already said, it's very personal.

agreed with you. first is long, 2nd is worse, last is good.

edit: I should read more careful and be less a sleep when I post. sorry. I voted wrong, and posted wrong

I agree with tochjo.

Well, for public release I change my vote to the second one (without 'contactpersoon').
For my personal use, the third one (shortest).

(as far as it is now, the first one (longest) will be used in public release)

Ok, lets make a compromise, this is the one I think:

The fourth version:
(it is the same as the second one, but with the verb 'is', so that you get 'full' sentences, -Tochjo- )

;fourth version

(PlusFan, wouldn't make a big difference in vote-counting )

You try, I know, but I still like the longest ones best.
The ones like
ContactOnline=online
ContactOffline=offline
ContactIdle=inactief
still are a bit too short, I think...

Question: why do you write the last couple of ones with a capital?

1)
online, offline, etc....
I could make it 'is offline', etc... But then tyou would get two different kind of sentences:
contactpersoon -> 'is offline'
contactpersoon -> 'naam is gewijzigd in: blablabla"

this is more logical (imo):
contactpersoon -> 'offline'
contactpersoon -> 'naam is gewijzigd in: blablabla"

Do take in mind that there is a column 'contactpersoon' before 'gebeurtenis'.... It is the combined view you should consider.
(if you only would see 'online', then I agree, you know nothing then)

2) Capitals
"Baas Bescherming", "Messenger", "Persoonlijke status" are names...
You could make it "persoonlijke status" though, but not "baas bescherming" en "messenger"...

i prefer the old way

old way it will be....
