Christian,

Good job. Unfortunately I am not a programmer worth talking
about, but is it not possible to do the same as the others, indicating the status with MSN messenger per user per post?

This is not in any way a hint to change the code or develop a new hack. Just some ideas on how it could be done.

I have no idea as to the performance implecations of it all and any other aspects. As I said, I'm not a programmer.

If anyone does want to develop such a thing or Christian would
like to integrate it, I would be as happy as a pig in s**t

eg:

you already have the MSN Messenger center...
here you know if your buddies are online.
So it looks as if we have all the data we need.. this data I think can then be used for the whole thread (all posts in thread)

so some things to think about:

• make a new user custom field eg: 'MSN access id'
• some coding required
  - if the 'MSN access id' is in the 'MSN Messenger center' then show the icon that represents the user (you have it already)
  - else don't show a thing.
• it should work integrated with the way it is currently done I think... $post[msnbit] ..
