O.P. Why Plus 5 don't suport Messenger.MyPersonalMessage?
Finally, after much waiting, the team released a Plus version for WLM 2011.

But apparently there are some bugs in the resource script.

For example, the feature Messenger.MyPersonalMessage is not working.

Clearance returns the following error: "Error: Object does not support the action (code: -2146827843). "

Is there any fix for this bug?

Messenger 2011 version 15.4.3508.1109
Plus 5 version 5.00.0.702
Microsoft Windows Seven Ultimate 32bits version 6.1.7600

I notice that various scripts have problems with the Personal Message in WLM 2011. This is probably due to changes in the way Personal Message is used. It's more or less Microsoft's counterpart of twitter, every time a status is set, the status is posted on your Windows Live Profile, as well any of the services you connect to, like Facebook.

I would like to know if it's still possible to access the "Personal Message" at all through normal means? I'm sure there is one way or another, but perhaps more difficult than before. "Show music I'm currently listening too" has been removed as well, probably because otherwise everyone's Profile page would be spammed with their song history.

Typical Microsoft changes, grrr!

At the moment it is possible to read a personal message, but not to set one. I have a feeling it's to do with a change in the internals of WLM2011 itself and not Plus!5. That being said, I'm sure some of the beta testers or developers would have a bit more reliable information on it

There is a command inside Messenger Plus! 5.0, namely "/persostat."
This command pops up a little window where you can set your "Personal Message" (now called Personal status) but this will also post your status to your Windows Live Profile, as well as any connected services, such as Facebook. (Like I said)

I was actually mainly talking about the way it's accessed through scripts.

RE: Why Plus 5 don't suport Messenger.MyPersonalMessage?
Right, now I'm confused.

OP asked about the PSM in scripting. I explained that it's currently not able to be set by a script.

You mentioned the /persostat command which creates a personalised status (Away, Busy etc). Personalised statuses can set a PSM, but it wasn't mentioned... I think if anything you'd want the /psm command - I think I get what you mean; Plus!5 can set the PSM, so why not a script? (See Below)

I think (and I can only speculate) that it's changed internally (new protocol version and so on) and either they haven't figured out how to expose it to the scripting interface, or simply due to the pressure to release, just didn't have chance

We're on the same page, my friend.

I'm really just saying the exact same thing you are.

Then again, I don't speak British. :p

We decide to remove MyPersonalMessage from scripts because actually it changes the focus to the contact list in wlm 2011 (see the /psm command in chat wnd), which could be annoying when automatized.

@totonf: do you think it's gonna come back to scripts? Right now about everything that sets the personal message has ceased working properly.

Couldn't you just bring it back and set a rate limit on it? So scripts don't break, but just do less actual PSM changes? I agree the way some old scripts change the PSM could be annoying, but people will stop using those automatically. There are plenty of good uses for PSM-changing scripts WLM-2011 style, push tweets to it for example.
Finish the problem
