Memberhey everyone,
is there a way to change away or out to lunch or be right back ect… to wtv you want ? ? ? :confused:October 12, 2002 at 8:40 pm #100193VaderX
MemberYES you sure can. Using reshack you can change your status text to whatever you want BUT (and theres a BIG BUT) the person the other side has to have the same msn messenger.exe as you have right now. In other words, the other person wont be able to see your text, they will see the standard text (i.e. away, out to lunch)

Memberi don’t really get you do they have to have messenger plus if that’s wut i have or do they have to have reshack and were do i get reshack ? ? ?

Memberthis is what i am saying.
Inorder for you to change the away/out to lunch, you have to use Reshack to tweak the status text in the .exe file of msn messenger. Now once you have changed the text of the away status(lets say you change away to ‘gone to school’), the person you have on your contact list will see ‘away’ instead of the text you have changed to (i.e. ‘gone to school’). the other person on your contact list will see ‘gone to school’ only when your friend has the msn messenger.exe file that YOU HAVE.October 12, 2002 at 8:58 pm #100196pcb

Why would they need to have the same .exe file? I don’t think they do, because with Trillian you can, and they still see it.

Memberyeah but we are talking about msn messenger over here
You can get trillian here. For more information on trillian go to Trillian official site

MemberSo what? They do not need to have the same .exe file to be able to view a different away message. I highly doubt that.

MemberYou can also try Messenger Plus.

ParticipantIs it just me…
Or all of you confusing Away Message with Away Status?pcb would like to make a custom status – not a custom away message. Just like Yahoo has a feature to make a custom status.
No Trillian will not work (except on the Yahoo Messenger Medium which isn’t what you’re looking for.) and neither will Messenger Plus.
The solution? I have no clue – but I know it’s neither of the suggested ones.October 15, 2002 at 9:04 pm #100190VaderX
MemberPcb, go to fAq/xtra section in mess.be. You might get you answer there.
