nice job dedndave . also as Swordfish requested , can u make an exe without the plugins ? i really want my messenger to be clean

i don’t understand why the ad keeps reappearing after restart. the exe has the same hash with the cracked one, but i have to overwrite it with the cracked one for the ad to no longer appear.
what’s the logic for that?

and as a request, if it’s not that hard to remove that plug-in bar that i was talking about, i’m sure a lot of people would apreciate it if you would make an *exe without it, just as an alternative for those of us that are not using plug-ins.
thanks again for 1102.

they never get tired, do they – lol
completely removing the plug-ins bar would mean no more plug-ins

dedndave, we are all waiting for you to do your magic
also, removing that ugly “Plug-ins – Add Plug-ins” bar would be nice.
