can you poat the report here first so we can check everything is added please??

One thing I'd really love to have is a "ping" option in the right click menu of the floating contacts.  So basically if I click on this option, a message is sent to the contact that literally says "ping".

Why do I need this? Because I work in a cubicle maze where we always yell at each other, but several of my colleagues put headphones on or are too far away to reasonably shout in a workplace environment, so I just want to get their attention with a quick ping.

It'd be even better if you could somehow tie this in with quick texts so that instead you could quickly send a customized message such as "I'm ready to go" each evening when your car pool is waiting for you, etc, etc.

Anyway, I think you get the picture. (I hope)

yup, I get it... But these are more a conversation options (and behold, they are listed in a conversation window )... The right-click menu of a floating contact shouldn't contain any specific conversation-options/tools/features. Otherwise, where do you draw the line? Adding ping? ok, what about adding all the emoticon sounds, the plugin commands, or share file menu, etc.... do you know what I mean? The menu will become very bloated very quickly. Furthermore, it is equally quick to simply double click the floating contact and type /ping (or your quicktext for that matter)....

And sure, maybe you use the ping command a lot, but if you look at the avarage, then /ping isn't used that much though.

I'm not sure if i'm doing this wrong or if it's a bug or not but when i click on the desktop quick-start button, the desktop shows up but not the floating icons.... which means i have to minimise windows manually which takes more time then just opening msn and having all the features there

read "CookieRevised's reply to Messenger Plus! 3.20" to know why....

my suggestion would be floating contacts without background

so just the lil-green-msn-guy and the contact's Name

I second that...That would be nice if it were to be added

Another suggestion that would be very cool...give users the ability to change icons for different users.   So I'd be able to define an online and an offline icon for individual contacts, just like I can already define sounds.  The pudgy little green guy gets old after a while. I always assumed this was not possible in the normal contact window, but with the contacts on the desktop, I would think it would be possible now...right?

lol true and nice suggestion
