RE: anyone write script to check who appear offline?
Alright, I suppose I should post an update.

With the Nudge Tools script, it doesn't do anything unless they have your conversation opened, and active (IE up front). We tried just talking to the other person, then nudging them, etc. etc., but the Convy notifier still didn't pick up anything.

Does this mean that when you appear offline it doesn't open a session, or that it uses some other way than the online contacts?
*Notes to self: Why doesn't the conversation notifier tell you a chat is opened if YOU send the contact a message in the first place?
     -- Is this made like that purposely by Microsoft, or by the scripters assuming that you know the chat is opened since you just talked to them?
     -- If it's the scripters, or if the feature simply isn't added in the first place, would this be possible to do? If so, is there a way to filter the notifications for offline contacts only?

Or is all this simply impossible?

I mean think about it. When you talk to somebody and they have the conversation notifier, it'll tell them that a chat is opened (Even if you're offline, you still get that notification). Also if somebody appearing offline opens a conversation with you, (I think) you're told about it, correct? So regardless of either person appearing offline, a chat session is opened for both sides.

Conclusion:
So, couldn't the conversation notifier be modified to tell you if a session is opened, EVEN IF you opened it yourself?
If that part works, we can filter it to offline contacts at a later time. Plus, if they really ARE offline, then the session wouldn't be opened in the first place! :D

sounds a plausible idea - who can write a script to test it?

I think WLM has 2 ways of "connections" on contacts... I say that because when you're offline, you get "On XX/XX, Time,  Nickname wrote:" and when you're online, you get "Nickname says:"...

Hmmm that's true.

But if the offline contact talks to you, does it not still say $nick says: ?

So then that one would use the same type of connection, correct?

No, most everyone now is behind a router, and router's are on 24/7.

Even if they weren't on a Router, their sibling/parent could be on the computer, checking their e-mails or something.

Hello,

I am new here and I have read the whole thread. I also read at another website that it is possible to get a notification when an "Appear Offline" contact signs out that sais "Contact X is not online anymore". So in other words you would know whether they are in Appear Offline only when they are logging out. Has any of you checked this option? Could that work?

Well, if you've read the whole thread (like you've stated) then you'd have your answer.

That's what we're trying to work on as of now. ;)
