This could be a bug , I'm not sure...

O.P. This could be a bug , I'm not sure...
Messenger Plus won't document in the "display alerts viewer" , when a contact comes online.
i.e. when i click on : Plus!> display even viewer
it doesn't show at what time contacts came online (with the time stamp)

the only thing it does is display when they  sign out and what they're listening to.

Does anyone know how to help me fix this problem?
i tried uninstalling and re-installing windows live messenger and Messenger Plus again
tried restoring the computer to a previous time,
and before you ask, i do have the "display alerts when contacts come online " in the options menu AND have a special event notification for all contacts on Messenger Plus with both sound and pop up.
anyway NOTHING WORKS!

the problem is the same in my two other computers so i'm thinking it's a bug and not something specific wrong with just mine.

thanks for any help guys:(

Make also sure you have enabled all the options in the dropdown options menu in the Event Viewer itself.

In the Event Viewer window:
Options >
Show General Information
Show Personal Messages
Show Current Media

And make sure you haven't filtered out some contacts:
menu: 'Plus!' > item: 'Preferences & Options' > tab: 'Messenger' > left tab: 'Event Logging' > title: 'Event Viewer' > button: 'Filter by Contacts'


Other than that, it should show contacts coming online...

That is a Messenger-option to show so called "toasts" (those popups in the bottom right corner). It has got nothing todo with the Event Viewer.

Is also not related to the Event Viewer. It is again a feature to show "toasts" (or play a sound).

The "toast" notifications (or "alerts" as Messenger calls them) don't have anything todo with the Event Viewer (other than that they both can show the same information, but in a different way).

I've been having the same problem.  I have all of the options checked and has no filter enabled.  I also reinstalled messenger plus but didn't work.

If someone figures out a way to fix this please let us know.

Thanks

Hello there,

i was searching for a solution for this problem, that's how I landed here.

I'm sure that there is something not working correctly. The Event Manger always worked very well, but since 3 days (possibly 2) everything works fine except when a contact comes online. Then nothing happens in the event manager. If the contacts change their status or their PSM it's written in the Manager. So the only thing not working correctly is when someone comes online.

To avoid questions, i've nothing changed in the config for a long time and it worked perfectly.

Would be great if a programmer or anyone else could solve this problem.

Thanks from germany

Thanks for the reports. I did a couple of tests myself and it seems to work fine. Can you confirm you didn't install any other new software in the past few days? can other people check this out?

Thank you.

i can confirm, that in the last few days i havn't installed ANY new software.

So I think this problem must be independent from any other software.
Also this seems to be a known problem otherwise there weren't three threads about the same problem.

Event Viewer cannot record (some) account signed in,
but can do only the signed out.
I see that others have the same problem.
I havan't installed any new programs lately.
I uninstalled MsgPlus and re-installed it, but it didn't help.


my computer
MSN Version:8.5.1302.1018
PLUS Version:4.82.0.368
windows XP
