There is an option to not to reply to MP! Ping. iirc.
Anyway, if some day Patchou is going to add this, he will know what the best way is (hey he's your god ).

Let's just wait until he decided to add it...

Thread closed IMO...

I'm just guessing, but I think the point of the ping command, is to ping people

Especially if they do not have it then you have to explain... if you just ask that's it, unless they're curious to know more about it, but that just one more on the team and you can redirect them directly to the homepage to read for themselfes

Toss em the url of the installer's exe and all they have to do is click it Then keep clicking continue =P

lol its in my name, they don't like dowloadin stuff, there scared of downloadin stuff or there not supossed 2

anyhow back on topic, i don't really see how its a privacy issue, what privacy is put on the line to know if someone has plus! ? Sure i guess u could just anoyin them with sounds, but u can turn that off, and ofcourse this feature would b able to b turned off also.....

if think that is a great idea cos sumtimes i fdo the ping command and ppl get all confused if they dnt have plus and things like that so gr8 odea but its down to patchou to decide, of u cud make a plug-in?

ok patchou i got a compromisehere. currently if you use ping and they have plus the info screen forever more states that person has plus. right firstly a question, does it retain that info even you you uninstall plus say like my pc had a hard drive crash and i couldnt boot my system again or even format my pc cause the hard dtrives beyond repair unless plus stores this in the backups i have to reping all my contacts after a system recovery.

anyways back to my compromise. if a contact has plus and their info says they have plus great. now somewhere in plus that datas stored so what if you added a feature that if the /info screen says thery have plus as a result of a previous /ping then a plus icon is displayed by their name as shown in the screenshot at the top of this thread?



that way its not a violation of there privacy as it uses the current ping to obtain the data in the first place all im asking is for a better way of displaying the data that ping requests gather. is there really any harm in that patchou?
