O.P. Messenger and Plus! Versions
I think it would be a great help to everyone if in the MsgPlus! Help & Support forum and the MSN/Windows Messenger forum, when you create a new thread, displayed warning message saying:

"Please state what Messenger you are using and what version (Help > About Messenger). Also, please state if you have Messenger Plus! or Messenger Plus! Live, and what version (Plus! > About Messenger Plus!)."

Or something along them lines?

Or even better, drop down menus where you have to select what you have and what version and also a N/A option.

Anyone else agree? It does get annoying because in nearly every thread people never say what version they have and we have to ask every time.

That would be a good idea, but if there is a N/A option, people tend to be lazy and just choose that. But i think on the whole it would work well.

The version numbers would have to be shown somewhere(at the bottom?) of the post. Or something

Good idea! Almost every single time, I ask them, what version MP! and Messenger are you using? It get really annoying too.

Hmm this seems like a great idea but I am sure many people still won't use this since they don't like to read things (just like when people post in the wrong forums) :<

Make it so you have to choose an option. Makes sense.

Edit: The N/A option would only be for if your not asking for help, just general discussion about Messenger in MSN/Windows Messenger forum and the drop-down menu would default to blank, so they would have to choose an option (either a version or N/A ...)

Yeah like with a pop-up that informs the person that they have not filled in 'so and so' bit and need to go back and correct it.
