Question
Darrian
Not sure this is the right place to post this. If not, sorry.
A while ago I stopped being able to connect to MSN on my Windows Phone (HTC Trophy). At first I thought it was an issue with the phone, but today I noticed some weird things. The messaging button wasn't click-able in outlook.com. When I opened up Skype for Windows 8 only my Skype contacts showed up, not my MSN contacts. Trillian doesn't display any of my MSN contacts as being online. The Skype desktop app shows all my msn contacts, but their service icon is red. I'm not even sure what it means.
Does it mean that I have a contact on my list that isn't authorized (or in this case, have all my contacts "de-authorized" me)? Does it mean that it's not connecting to the MSN servers anymore due to the changes they made to Windows Messenger that supposedly made it so that Skype was the only app that was actually SUPPOSED to work and something has backfired with my account. This is incredibly frustrating, I haven't been able to talk to anybody via MSN for more than a month now, and that's where 90% of my contacts are.
Has anybody else had this issue, and have you been able to fix it? I've looked everywhere I can think in my Microsoft Account settings and Skype settings and come up with nothing. All my contacts do show up via "People" on my phone, the Windows 8 app, and the outlook.com web app, I just can't talk to any of them unless they have facebook or I want to email or text them.
