O.P. How to remove "offline" status ?
Hi,

I would like to remove the status "offline" from my MSN.
I tried to search on the Internet, but with no success !

Can someone tell me how to remove this status ?
Or If there is a patch, or add-on made for that ?
Or if someone can make one ?
Or (again :) ) How can i do it myself ?

Thank you all, if you know something...

Bozz.

I don't quite understand your question, you want to remove the offline status from the menu or offline in general?

You can't remove it in "general". But you can probably remove it from the menu with the proper patch.

Ok, I managed to do it :
I used ResHack to remove the status in the msgslang.dll file.
It works fine so far...

Maybe because its annoying to look at, because if a contact is offline they have a red icon, no need for the (Offline) tag. But I wouldnt know because I dont sort my list by groups

And if somebody is wondering how you remove the (offline) tag, just open msgslang.dll with Resource hacker, go to String table 46, and edit line 733

I didn't remove the offline from the contact list, because i sort my contacts by group.
But i just wanted to remove the offline from the status list. And that's what I did.

Now.. to satisfy the curiosity of rafy (he aked me twice my reason) :
- First, I think that the appear offline status is useless. If you want to be connected but dont want to be disturb there is already a status for that.
- There is also several setting options to avoid annoying messages.
- Second, my wife use MSN also my computer. I just want her to be online when she's connected, because, if I'm not home and want to talk to her, I just want her to get the message (immediatly i mean).
- I think it's very egoist to only be able to send message, and not receive them !!!!

Firstly if you don't want to use it then just don't use it, with your wife for instance unless you tell messenger to connect as "appear offline" then you won't - you will automatically be signed in as online.

You cannot send messages to people while your appearing as offline. You have to change your status to online/busy/away etc to send or recieve messages. Basicially there is no feature of msn messenger where only you can send messages and your contacts can't send them  back.
