Thank you all for the replies, here is what should be done. In my opion: -

- In the Preferences of Plus! there is the option "Reveal Plus! to other users" or maybe in the install wizard. (I personally think that it should be default ON, who is going to want to hide such a great tool? But I dont mind default OFF either.)

- You sign into Messenger and for about 1 second Plus! changes your name to include a certain code, Then it changes it back.

- Plus! sees contacts sign in, change their name to include a certain code, then change it back. Now Plus! knows that they have Plus! aswell. It then displays a custom icon for the users running Plus!.

I cannot see how this will invade privacy, infact it would INCREASE the privacy of showing Plus!. If I were to /ping someone that was trying to hide Plus! then I would see that they have it. BUT if on my list I see that the person doesn't have Plus! (they disabled "Reveal Plus! to other users") then I am not going to bother to /ping them.

Please Patchou, this would be a really great addition to Plus!

I would like to hear you opion.

Regards
James
