Hmm.... the nudging and convy opener/closer might be all we need.

That's a really good idea though! Great thinking!

and if they are really offline?

well, it wont work, nut if there is someone who is appearing, it might work, I think it's good...if there is someone who is appearing, I think that u vould have a good chance to catch them! welll...could it work? i think it could!

If they're really offline, they'll never even know you sent them a nudge. They don't get them when they DO come online, so really there's nothing to worry about.

so...could anzone write a script, which would to such a things?

Well, you wouln't need to write an entirely new scripit per say, all you'd need is just to use the two scripts allready made!
Oh, do you have an MSN address?
Actually, maybe we should keep talking on this thread, as to keep it bumped, and there's the fact that somebody else may have something to contribute as well.

well, thez could be combined 2gether, with permision of their authors.....and with some extra work, it could be done, rite?

Yes, it could be done...
However I'm not much of a scripter.... lol
We'd have to ask somebody to help, or maybe one of the authors of the origional script.

There is also another script (don't think it has been metnioned so far) called live notifier (older versions called convo notifier)

This is meant to tell you when someone opens a conversation with you, and it works by telling you when someone opens a session with your msn.

This means it sometimes gives you an alert for a contact that is appearing offline, if their pc opens a session, so i would have thought it would be fairly straightforward to combine this with information about who is online and who is offline, and it could only send you alerts if the person that has opened a session with you seems to be offline.

Has anyone looked at this idea already/does it have any potential?
Thanks

Live Notifier has been mentionned and linked to a lot. There are many threads about it. And many threads explaining the notifications and their accuracy.

As for combining something like this to have a who is appearing offline tool, that is exactly what this whole thread is about and which is explained in detail already in this very same thread.



EDIT (because I wasn't very clear I think, sorry for that): The use of open window notifiers, like Live Notifier was already discussed indirectly in this thread. And Steel Froggy already mentionned the use of open convo notifiers, like Live Notifier, explicitly to make such a "appear offline notifier". Although possible, they still would be somewhat inaccurate (but not so inaccurate as open window notifiers) as already explained in this thread. For more info about open window notifiers, see: "CookieRevised's reply to Question regarding a "close msg window logger"".
