O.P. Multiple login/logout toasts
Dunno if this bug is MSN or MsgPlus...

My friend logged out and I got 2 logout toasts... strange I thought, but ignored it.
He logged back in and 2 login toasts... very strange I thought...

Friend logs out again ... 4 toasts!! (2 at once then 1, then 1 more) ... extremely weird!!
He logged back in 4 login toasts!! so I screen capped it...

Other people have been logging in and out and they only got one toast...

Any thoughts?

RE: Multiple login/logout toasts
It could be that this contact was playing with some dodgy addon for Messenger since he/she signed in/out so quickly (see eventlog).

On the other hand, sometimes it also happens when you are low on resources at that moment (I experienced this once in a while when my resources are low), but then again, you wont see so much "hops" in the eventlog in that case. It could also be a small bug in his or your Messenger...

It might be a bomber (yep there is that kind of dodgy program) but I am absolutely sure it is not my Hopper because my Hopper has anti-flood protection;)

Your contact is probably using a software to do that kind of thing.. just ask him to stop it and block him if he doesn't comply :)

O.P. Huh?  RE: Multiple login/logout toasts
Nope, I asked him, and he said no.

Besides he's not techy enough to do that on purpose!!

It hasn't happened since...  might have been whatever msn server he was logged on to having a hiccup.

Thanks for your time though :)

RE: Multiple login/logout toasts
It just happend to me again, totaly out of the blue... my system resources weren't even low and I was doing almost nothing on the comp (only running messenger, plus and mirc)...
4-5 boxes appeared (with Messenger logo, not with the plus! logo) telling me X has just signed in. The person is also a complete noob at Messenger. (he doesn't have plus).

It could be a server-problem........

damnnnn i had the program to do this ages ago ... i think i lost it on my reformat .... it just alows you to type up to 4 custom toast and they will appear on everyones contact list who is online at the time .... even the people that have blocked you ;)... it is just a bomber thats all .... and this program is not dificult it is easier to use than it is to install messenger plus! :P so you don't have to be some l337 hacker or something .... it is simply 4 text boxes and a send button ..... ask him for the program.. i wouldn't mind getting it back ....
can also be good if you are playing around with the block feature with a friend you can just make it pop up ok done playing now and they can unblock you :D

We all know such programs exists. But in some cases it isn't such a program, it is the server itself who has a flaw (I think)...
