O.P. Appearing Online to specific contacts only
Heya.
As I understand, the latest windows live messenger has a feature similar to that of the old Yahoo messenger where it allows you to appear online to only those contacts that you choose.

Now, I have the latest Messenger Plus and I was hoping it would have that feature along with it buuuut it doesn't so I was wondering if there is a script that I can enhance my Messenger Plus with.

I realllllllly don't want to get rid of Messenger Plus just because it doesn't have that one feature but I also REALLLLLLY want that feature xD

Windows Live Messenger itself already has that feature, as you said. Simply sign-in appear offline (or set your status to appear offline), right click the contact you wish to appear online to and choose "Appear online to this person." Repeat for any contact you wish to appear online to.

Why would you want a plugin (script) to do the same thing?

Then how come my current, updated windows live messenger with Messenger Plus add-on not have that feature?
oh gosh...Do i have to uninstall Messenger Plus, update the original windows live messenger and THEN add on Messenger Plus?
I assumed when Messenger Plus updates itself automatically, it also updates your windows live o.o

No it doesn't. Each of them has to be updated separately.

You don't have to uninstall Messenger Plus! to update Windows Live Messenger. Just install the latest Windows Live Messenger from http://explore.live.com/windows-live-messenger over your current installation and all should be fine.
