The email contained a screenshot of the new about window, although people could easily fake this, they seemed confident that this was real and Screenshot Sender 5 is being coded.
Although I'm not too sure if it is true, I thought it was worth a quick post, even if it was to remind you about this great script for Messenger Plus! Live.

This has happened to me quite often in the past, but recently, I installed a script for Messenger Plus! live which got rid of this problem. You can tell the script to show messages that were sent within a certain time (in milliseconds) before closing the conversation window. If you close a conversation window in that time frame (after receiving a message) you will be automatically alerted of the message with a Messenger Plus! live toast. Clicking the toast will open a conversation window with the contact.
There is currently only one known bug on the page.
Known bugs:
-Toasts can not be clicked if the contact uses a StuffPlug 3 chat-only name
in a multi-convo.
I've also notice though, that the script will popup a toast if it's your own message that was sent. Hopefully it'll be fixed in the future!

It used to be a plugin for Messenger Plus! but recently it has become a script for Messenger Plus! Live. Again this is a simple idea which works. Over time a detailed log will build up and give you an idea of your contact's taste in music. A great feature is you can export all the data to a HTML file, and show your friends what they listen to.
The script isn't perfect, it doesn't take into account when media players change the string patterns and therefore some contact's data comes out inaccurate. Despite this, it still is a great script and I suggest giving it a try today.

Today I installed Reminder+, a simple yet very effective script for Messenger Plus! Live. It's easy to use and very customisable. You can set the script to remind you of something every X amount of minutes, keep a log of birthdays and set one off reminders. I find Reminder+ very professional and it matches what I need. I suggest giving it a try.

The script basically changes the icon for Windows Live Messenger and conversations in the taskbar based on multiple variables, such as your contact's status. It does the job perfectly, and I find it a nice small feature for Messenger. Of course you can already do this with StuffPlug 3, but that currently does not work properly with the new 8.5 beta.
I suggest trying Status Icon today, it may be small but I believe it makes a huge difference to using Messenger.

So far things are going good with the coding, the hardest part is getting NanaFreak to stop playing Counter Strike: Source and to help out with the work on this.
Anyway, back on topic.... so we have talked to a few different people on the forum about different things to do with this and we should be fairly well set we think, with one exception.... we need a design for the site. We decided to run a little competition where we select what we feel to be the best and most appropriate. Anyone with designing skills are invited to join in and (if the admins allow for this) post a suggested screen shot of what it would look like (no need to code any CSS, just draw a picture will be fine... and nothing done in paint with just the black pen, OK!).
As for the prize for winning we will allow the person to join in our testing if they wish (or pass the invitation on to someone else of their choosing if they so desire).
We will be giving more details about the testing schedule and features later, we don't see this as being a small project and we want a solid base before releasing this publicly. I hope everyone is excited as us about this whole thing.
PS. The name we have chosen (for the time being at least) is Web2Live, but we weren't sure if that was too close to Web2Messenger.... If you have a better suggestion then go ahead and tell us, it is greatly appreciated.
We at Messenger Stuff wish them the best with development and promise to keep you updated on any progress made.
Announcement on the MsgHelp ForumYou may or may not know, but Messenger Plus! Live has held a scripting competition over the past few weeks, and people have been making new and fresh scripts in a bid to win a t-shirt or even $500. I've been meaning to post about some of these scripts, and now that all entries have been submitted, expect me to discuss some that stood out for me.
What I love about this script is the fact how well a wonderful idea has came together. It logs how many times you and your contacts have signed into Messenger, how long you have spent on Messenger altogether and even logs personal message and display name changes. The script has so much, and it's rather cool looking back at the statistics when they eventually build up.
I don't want to nag on, I suggest viewing the screenshots, they speak for themselves. Try out this script today, I believe it's one of the best out there.

The program is, to sum up, fantastic, it's clean, works great and has some amazing features. If you use or have used Screenshot Sender in the past you would of knew that parts were buggy. Well that seems to of been stamped out, I can save and even upload screenshots without hassle. I can't say much more than try it, it has got to be the most professional script for Messenger Plus! Live so far.

Some of you may of heard of Screenshot Sender, most likely version 3 by Dempsey. It was probably the second most popular plugin for Messenger Plus! for a few years now, due to its vast amount of useful features. The program enabled you to take print screens of your messenger windows, desktop or even someone's webcam from a touch of a button and send the screenshot to your contact or save it to a directory of your choice. It was very helpful and easy to use, I simply loved it.
Over time Matty joined the project and started work on a new update to the plugin. It was going well, I mean really well, new features, better code, the works. Then Messenger Plus! Live scripts were introduced and because he and Dempsey were beta testers, they started working on Screenshot Sender 4, in a form of a script. Matty is probably the main coder of the project at the moment, Dempsey is far too busy with other things, however progress on the project is still improving ...
Screenshot Sender 4 will be entirely coded in Jscript, to show how powerful Plus! scripting can be. It maybe harder and take longer, but the end result will be great. I asked Matty a few questions about the project and he told me some interesting stuff:
For the first release there wont be much as it takes awhile to re-code a project, as you have previously seen from Messenger Plus! Live. However eventually most of the features will be added back at one point or another.
For now the ones I/we will work most on are Capturing of active windows, full screen, uploading screenshots once they have been saved, using hotkeys to capture windows and send them to all available contacts (that are online), selecting from contacts in a conversation to send the screenshot too.
Release dates and betas have yet to be discussed we don't want to get too ahead of ourselves. But as previously done with prior versions which have been released to the public we just may. Also I am going to probably add a custom updater never before seen in Plus! Scripts, I hope peoples reaction to it is a good one, lets say every file has the potential of being updated without having to re-download an entire Plus! Script Pack.

Of course scripts have been coded already, beta testers have really enjoyed using the feature, and a lot of bugs and problems have been found and fixed. At first the scripting engine was basic, but now it is a lean mean messenger changing machine. Soon Messenger Plus! Live and numerous scripts will be out, and I plan to have a database full of them right here when they do.
It also seems that msgpluslive.net, the new website for the program, has been password protected, probably due to an upcoming release. Thanks to Mattike for word on that.
