Plazer is a bit too eager to check in now...
The Plazer (at least the Windows 2.1.2711.24648 version) seems to check in repeatedly when I let it automatically check in, even if my network connection has not actually changed. This is especially a problem when I'm on our flaky company WLAN access point which looses connection very often.
I now run the Plazer in manual mode because of the excessive number of "bogus" check ins I get, but I often forget to check in when I would have wanted to. Could another mode be added please? A kind of semi-automatic mode? Functionality would be something like this:
1) When automatic check-in would actually change our Plaze to different Plaze as our most recent activity, simply check-in automatically like it does now.
2) When these two Plazes would come out as one and the same, notify the user (in the OS default way, like a notify bubble in the status area or "MSN/Outlook notification toast" in Windows) about it, giving the choice of check-in or not
This would cut back on useless duplicate check-ins immensely I think.

Inappropriate?Hi, thanks for the great idea!
We'll probably have a new version of the plazer, where all your suggestions will be considered. The issue you are speaking is difficult to tackle - the condition for when to check-in and when not are never accurate for all cases. But, we're working on it and thanks again for the feedback!
I’m thankful

Inappropriate?I have just suggested that this problem is solved at the other end and that filters are placed when re- reading the plazes via the web-site or feeds.
For more, see this topic, here at getsatisfaction.
I’m glad someone else recognises the problem.

Inappropriate?I'm having the exact opposite problem, where I can't get Plazer to check in at all!
I too am running Plazer 2.1.2711.24648
