WLM 8.1 customizing status

Is it possible to create a custom status in WLM 8.1. Something along the line
of "playing an online game", etc.?

Greetings,

Nope, but you can always set yourself to away and stick your reason into the "personal status
message" field.

Or, you can use Messenger Plus Live which adds this by appening your reason into your display
name using brackets (which other Messenger Plus Live enabled people will see as your status).

You can grab Messenger Plus here @ http://www.msgpluslive.net. Be aware that there is
an -optional- sponsor program included with Plus which prompts you during the setup to either
install or not. You do not need to install the sponsor program to install Plus.

Hi,

Nope, Messenger Plus has been around for years.
