Shoutbox

Alright.  What this is, is similar to boss mode. Call it parent mode.  For those kids who have parents who don't approve of foul language n such.  If a parent comes into the room you can do a shortcut key and it will turn on the word filter and change your name to a "safe" one if desired.  I know my parents often come in and demand the computer RIGHT NOW because they need something printed off or something and often times someone will have something sex related/foul language in their screen name and it will pop up and they well see and get all man n such.  I dunno just an idea.

Just lock MSN Messenger as soon as they need to go on the computer. While Messenger is locked you won't see any popups and your parents won't be able to open Messenger without a password.

in the contact list, go to Plus! > Prefences > Privacy Protection > Messenger Lock

Then set a "Status when locked". (Choose "Busy" if you don't want Messenger to make any sounds while locked.)
Set a password so they can't open MSN Messenger.
Then enable a Messenger Lock shortcut for quick locking if you have to get off in a rush.

Good idea Jaguar, but parents must said "what you close messenger when i come ?"
And they have suspicions.

Parents: Why do you close messenger when i come
Boy: Nothing! i just wanted to close it when you came in
*Parents looking at the screen. They saw a sign out icon in the sys tray
Parents: Good boy
*Boy laughs. He used Boss Protection with the icon changed to the sign out icon

moral of the story: use boss protection with the icon changed to the sign out icon

abatonime.. that is true.. I like the word filter for contact names idea -_- It would work out swell

Yea it's not that I have the problem just an idea I had.

/clear guys, /clear. It works like a charm

i have a complain about the clear command

It ALWAYS leave one line behind!!! I HATE IT!!! My friend sometimes send obscene messages. when i use /clear, the last line (which include the obscene msg) is not cleared!!! i have to type a random message then use the /clear command to get rid of it! so annoying

You could always just use the custom names in Plus an you will never see them with a bad name.

yeah u will cos it keeps the "bad name" in the "says:" thing

so it will say

{custom name} ({email}

---

{real name} says:
{message}
