do you see a common theme coming here? Plus does that!

The Recieved Files suggestions is a good one
And Patchou doesnt want it to appear that he needs suggestions, just if people have one they can post it

ok umm im not sure you understood some of my requests. i already knew about the ifc ifg thingy from an old v1 version of plus or was it v2 im not sure i used it to manually code colours into my nickname but that takes hours to code and im not really good at programming. the colornick program is closer to what i had in mind but thats only designed to gradient 2 colors if i set red and yellow itl display my nickname in red then orange then a lighter oranger then yellow. but what id like to do is closer to what you can do in macromedia software with gradients where i can pick as many colours as i like and define how the gradients work in a user interface and it codes the stuff for me.

ok auto update well i havent ever seen it i can go to plus then about plus and click check for updates but thats not automatic its manual if an automatic version does already exist where do i find it?

i found the scheduler i didnt no it could be used to do that.

i havent ever seen this feature in plus i have seen a quick texts plugin but i doubt it does unlimited quicktexs do correct me if im wrong.

i understand patchou doesnt want to appear to need suggestions. it was only an idea but i understand why patchou doesnt want to implement it and thats cool.

It shows up if a new version is detected. Technically, you could install an older version and wait for the notice to come on to see what it looks like.

you can have a rainbow gradient with ColorNick if you want, but it's not automatic like in flash or photoshop.
you have to select 5 characters (for example), apply a gradient (red->yellow); select the next 5 characters, apply a gradient (yellow->green) and so on.

-> see the attachment

however don't forget you only have 129 characters in the nickname and each color takes 9 characters, so if you want to have a rainbow nick, choose a SHORT nick

cool looks great. by the way the auto update cant exist i reinstalled 3.20.100 and have been running messenger for 10 minutes and no update notice. it would be nice if patchou could add this feature in a future version.

by the way ill never know about quicktexts now as the plugins section of the messenger plus site no longer exists.

oh by the way in addition to not having an auto update function in plus yet theres a major malfunction in the manual updater. im still using the reinstalled 3.20.100 version and went to check for updates via the about plus box and it says no new updates available at this time yet i know there is as the site says current version is 3.21.104 so this featuree needs to be fixed.

There really is an auto update feature available. Do take in account that it will only check for updates once a week (the 10 minute period could have been too short), and that it might not have been updated to show that 3.21 is the latest (and that it still appears that 3.20 is the latest; this is done to prevent everyone downloading the new version at the same time, and so to prevent massive server load).

I don't understand; http://plugins.msgplus.net still works for me.

There is no bug; as I said, it might not have been updated to show that 3.21 is the latest (and that it still appears that 3.20 is the latest; this is done to prevent everyone downloading the new version at the same time and so to prevent massive server load).

yeah ok tochjo maybe your right about the auto update link ok but check this out.

This is the Plesk™ default page.
If you see this page it means:

1) hosting for this domain is not configured
or
2) there's no such domain registered in Plesk.

For more information please contact patchou@srv05.patchou.com


that is what appears when i clicked that link you gave me i dunno why that is but thats watt im getting.

That is because Patchou is currently doing some server maintenance. I myself have trouble reaching the site too, now.
