It was not me who went off topic with all sorts of things which didn't had anything todo with the thread's topic.

EDIT: because you really do not seem to grasp this according to your reply:  this post is talking about off-topic stuff...

maybe I'm one of the few who still bothers to reply about that trying to let you understand that your posts quite often are like that and others don't even bother to reply, and maybe others let it show in another way, or don't wanna spam a thread with it.

EDIT: because you really do not seem to grasp this either according to your reply: starting from this post some people say what they think of your posts and suggestions...

why I even bother to put more time into this and pointing you to the exact posts, I dunno...

Then what are they (suggestions about pers. status resetting) doing in a thread about the on-top feature of the Event Viewer?

EDIT: see this post. That is YOUR post, not mine...

(...) But let's come why I am writing this totally off-topic suggestion here. You are guilty about that. Because when I link people to the thread which reports the bug about Personalized Status window remains at behind of Contact List when Contact List is Always On Top, you supposed mistakenly that I am talking about my post on that thread and want it to be again discussed. So you have read it and brought that -bug about Status Resetting- here. In fact, I was planning to propose that bug to the agenda again (but of course at the end of that old thread), because in my opinion my suggestion should be implemented but you moved it to this thread and we are talking about that now.
Read your own post in this thread again and read your post in that other thread.... Let's quote it:

Whatever the problem is this: When we change our status to Away, Plus! can display Personalized Status window for 15 seconds. However if we edit something in that window and wanted to reset after X minutes, our status remains as Away still. Because when we choose Away, it is our default status anymore and there would be nothing to reset. Can't Plus! remember our status before Away and reset it to that after X minutes.
How is that related to the on-top feature of the Event Viewer again? How is that on-topic?

Please reread what you posted before, before you accuse me of not knowing how Plus! works or that I need to try stuff out before I post something!. I don't know everything about Plus! (obviously), but I sure do know how the basic functions work and should work in a logic manner.
You should definitely try stuff before posting about them. Because we all should do that. In fact, you didn't need to try especially that feature because it says "Reset my status" and you should have understood it normally like me. But I can't understand how you could think it would reset only name tag etc., I think you are trying to find something against me. It resets status and even it is written there. So this community know who is right here.
For starters I am a big Plus! users since version 2.something, been a beta tester since a long time. I am also a translator of Plus! since a very long time (since as long as I am using it, given or take a few months) and it is the job of translators to fully understand how features work, in full detail. With all due respect, but I think I might say that I do know how a long-time feature like this works....

And if you say you take all things into consideration and test stuff out, you would also know that the countdown in the personalised status is only activated when you set your Messenger status to Away (and when you've enabled the pers. status window to pop up of course). When you manually select the personalised status, your Messenger status is _not_ immediatly set to away. This difference makes that your suggestion is useless and even inlogic. And even if there wasn't a manual possebility to set a personalised status then it should still immediatly set your Messenger status to Away since that is what the user wants. If he didn't wanted that, he wouldn't have selected Away... The countdown is there to make it possible to define a personalised status, _if he whishes_. That is the whole purpose of it. Your suggestions regarding this will make the feature inlogic and very confusing (and not what it intended to be) and actually will remove this feature.

To make it short: If you want to go, for example, from 'Online' to a personalised status, you manually set the personalised status by selecting More Statuses > Personalised Status. That is the logic and proper way... First choosing 'Away' as your Messenger status is NOT the correct way to do this. And of course your status will be reset to 'Away' again in that case since it is this status which you have choosen before the personalised status.

I think you are talking about the first post of this thread and you, as well as MenthiX, said I am right about it. And now you are saying my bug report is inlogic, so you and MenthiX are inlogic too. Because you confirmed that bug.
When I said your suggestions are inlogic it was in a reply to your other posts here. Menthix nor me are inlogic; We confirmed the bug from your first post, that's it, fini, done, nothing-more.

And to make matters worse, in your last post you now start talking about a suggestion which suddenly seems to come again completely out of the blue.
You are right here. But what a pity who have started to talk about that subject at first is you, not me.
I wouldnt have brought it up if it wasn't mentionned ahmetgns, mentionned by you...

You did not say anything about prosponing the personalised status countdown until the window is filled in and confirmed before, in any post (and that is all there is to say about that suggestion, not the complete random stuff you throw into it). Everything you said before was completely something else.
You have definitely confused my writings here. I didn't say postponing personalized status countdown until the window is filled in and confirmed before, but I said, let Plus! postpone changing status to Away if user enable "Display Personalized ...........................changed to Away" option in MsgPlus! preferences and attempt to change it to Away.
Maybe you don't know what I've just said or what you suggested yourself. You exactly suggest what I said: prosponing the Messenger status to be set to Away until the coutndown is finished or something is filled in and confirmed.

For your information I take that as an insult now. I always think before I post something and I always try things out first and I will not post about something if I'm not sure it will help or is the correct information, and I do research before posting something.
I am not concerned about how you take that, but you must think carefully before posting. If you thought as much as me before posting, all these wouldn't be written.
Excuse me?!

What I want is changing that feature's text as Always Open&On Top.
1) this will not fix a possible bug in the on-top feature.
2) This will not fix the understanding of how the feature currently works:
  a) if a window is on-top it IS open
  b) if a window is not open, it can NOT be on-top

Aka: it makes no sense to have 'Always open & on-top...'


---------------

and I cba to further talk about this either as I would just be repeating myself again (aka: learn to read for a change!!!). And people are already annoyed by your crap and this discussion...
