I have one glitch.

take a look:

On three of my contacts, their nicknames appear slightly higher than they should be in the contact window.

You'll find that in the last section of their Display Name, they haev an emoticon assigned to it. Happened to one of my contacts, who used a "Heart" in the last half of her name

Btw, anyone familiar with this error message I get (happens to two contacts atm):

try turning off the option to show recent message history in the IM box. It seems theres a character in the logs that it's stumbling over.

I find the GUI of MSN Messenger to be easy to the eye and easy to use.

I've tried AIM, but had no friends using AIM

Tried ICQ, but I hated the controls of it etc

Yahoo Messenger's GUI was a bit plain, the Windows 98 style

I tried Trillian. It was a decent program, but the prog crashes on my computer.

That's why I continue to use MSN. Most ... no, ALL of my friends are on MSN ...

MSN is the most common chat app for the msn network? or do you mean in general. I think AOL/AIM has a ton more, which saddens me

"For users at home and at work in August, MSN Messenger led the pack for the first time in its U.S. history US with 28.6 million unique users, followed by the once-dominant AIM with 27.6 million, according to Nielsen/NetRatings. Yahoo trailed at 18.1 million, the research firm said.

In terms of time spent online AIM still wears the crown with five hours per session. MSN users spent an hour and a half every time they launched the software and Yahoo Messenger users typically logged on for about two hours and 50 minutes, Nielsen/NetRatings said."

      The original word arts were far more awesome! With their own preconfigured fill patterns, 3D layout, etc, with options to fine-tune their size and colors as desired. I especially loved the ones circled below and still miss them from my primary school years: I frankly use them less these days 'cause the new one isn't as straightforward fine art as what we originally had, taking time and effort to get back to the same graphics quality as the original offered, which I simply don't have enough of for merely fine-tuning my presentation titles. Same with the built-in picarts selection. Bring back the original pre-configured options for word art then I'll be using them far more frequently in my presentations even today.
    • Why you need to take back control of your synced passwords and how to go about doing that

      By +Good Bot, Bad Bot · Posted

      What didn't you understand about that was mainly referring to Google, Microsoft, etc. keeping your passwords. Password Management is a key service of Bitwarden and it's not going anywhere. In any case they do offer export to other Password management services, backup/download of passwords, and the already mentioned on-prem option. I don't agree with the OP to use the free option as it's better to be an actual customer IMO. They don't just don't delete accounts like the big tech companies with no recourse which was the main concern of this article. I was confused if the author was trying to sell this setup? It should be obvious to anyone reading this article this solution is overly complicated and overkill for most users.
    • Ads in Now Playing notifications on Spotify Android mobile app?

      By Steven P. · Posted

      I got this notification just now in Android: So I went in to disable the "Other" or "Marketing" notifications in Notifications management: But it came through the Now Playing? So if I disable that I no longer get what's Now Playing in Notifications? I'm a paying subscriber, not on the free plan... can they sink any lower?
