JScript code:
if(bEnabled)

since the way you do it now is by comparing it to the literal message "true" rather than the boolean value true. :)

Wow. I'm learning Pascal :D For Soldat.
Although I'm first going to try some nice scripts with WLM.
How would i start or is there a website that can help me?

Thx.

Why is that Pascal? :P It's just a regular boolean check: "if bEnabled (equals true), then do this."

Well, there are no real step-by-step tutorials on how to make script, since every script is different. There are some good resources like mpscripts.net. But remember that the first step in learning Plus! Live scripting is by having a look at the Scripting Documentation.

O.P. RE: Help - I'm new to scripting!
Okay, I've now got this new sign-in code:
JScript code:
function OnEvent_Signin(Email)
{
    if(bEnabled)
    {
        var Message = "You have been signed in.";
        Message = MsgPlus.RemoveFormatCodes(Message);
        MsgPlus.DisplayToast("Toaster", Message);
        Debug.Trace("Toaster | UserSign-in [On]");
    }
    else
    {
        Debug.Trace("Toaster | UserSign-in [Off]");
    }
}


But whether the script is "enabled" or "disabled" (as set in the script menu), it always comes up!  Any ideas?

That's because of the way the menu function you posted earlier was coded.
JScript code:
function OnEvent_MenuClicked(sMenuId)
{
    if(sMenuId=="Enable")
    {
        [b]var[/b] bEnabled = true;        var Message = "Toaster has just been enabled!";
        Message = MsgPlus.RemoveFormatCodes(Message);
        MsgPlus.DisplayToast("Toaster", Message);
        Debug.Trace("Toaster | Enable");
    }
    if(sMenuId=="Disable")
    {
        [b]var[/b] bEnabled = false;        var Message = "Toaster has just been disabled!";
        Message = MsgPlus.RemoveFormatCodes(Message);
        MsgPlus.DisplayToast("Toaster", Message);
        Debug.Trace("Toaster | Disable");
    }
}

The bolded var statements redeclare the bEnabled variable as a local variable, so their values aren't saved to the global variable.
In other words; this menu function does not change the script's status in any way.

Remove both bolded "var"s (so the lines say "bEnabled = true/false;") and you should be fine.
