RE: Messenger Plus! 3 Progress

Hey, Just a suggestion.
Is it possible to have different sounds for different contacts who log on and who type you a message. So you know when important people come on or talk to you.
Thanks.

Also, IM logging was in use way before Messenger Plus!'s implementation (actually, it was already there in the first IM client, ICQ), so they didn't really steal that idea...

I was wondering about that too.

On the other hand, by next week I may see more than just a screenshot.

(also regarding to all of the replies to this matter)
I think it should be kept this way, otherwise it could: 1. make the IM window too messy, 2. confuse newbies as Guido said, and 3. it'd be likely to cause GUI glitches. For example, try to resize an IM window to its minimal size - all those buttons just wouldn't fit in there, and that's likely to cause trouble.
Sure, Patchou could make the buttons disappear or something in that case, but I don't think it's worth it because of the first two reasons, and because it may take a lot of coding and testing time.

By "setup switch" you mean being able to install Plus! for a specific user only? (as I requested :gfdrin:

)
If so,

.

BTW, will the new Plus! menu exist in MSN Messenger 5.0 and Windows Messenger? Just being curious.

It was MP3 Reinvented though (ie. a parody on MPEG Layer-III

With "Plus!" it's more serious. (Y)

I'd say this is a good idea, but the /ping thingie isn't 100% reliable when checking if the contact has Plus! or not (they could disable the PING feature, there could be network problems, etc.), so having that considered I don't think it's a good idea.

Well, I don't remember what you suggestion was but Auto-Accept is there and you can activate it by default for any contact you want

Great

Can you add a feature that will allow us to check for Plus! without typing ping in the chat window? I don't want to waste time telling ppl who dont have Plus! wtf Ping means...

In short, can we check whether some1 has Plus! without notifying them?

Edit

Umm....Names on the contact list are already alphabetized

but of course most people start their names with symbols.. 8o|

makes it hard 2 sort...

all sounds good, can we expect a new screenshot every few days just to tease us more?
