RE: [REQUEST] Sign on alarm
some quick pointers (Im in a hurry):

* Script pack didn't imported, contained an error (also make your wml files unicode and add the proper header to scriptinfo.xml)

* Ident your code with tabs, add some lines between functions.

* Dont use Messenger.MyEmail for storing information, use Messenger.MyUserID instead (if you can, never put emails directly in the registry as this forms a possible security/privacy risk)

* There is no need for the variable ringing and assigning it 1 or 0; you can leave all those lines and checks out of it.

* Since you only use 1 timer, no need for checking the TimerId; you can leave that check out

* No need for checking the catch error event (if (e != 0)), it will always be something different than 0, otherwise it wouldn't be an error.

* Functions OnGetScriptMenu(), toggle and OnEvent_ContactSignin all miss an error catching (each time you read/write to the registry you must use error catching).

* You didn't declare the variable enabled as a global variable
       
* Unless you're going to use other menu options, checking on the menu id isn't needed

* Using a normal string to contain the email addresses might result in errors when you use eml.indexOf(TheEmail)>-1. Better make eml an array. You can also iterate thru the array more easly.

* since you use a timer in your script, read the important notes about timers here: CookieRevised's reply to [release] Who's online

* other optimizations exist though

;)
