looks like a global breakdown? DUH! it is. lols ya i was on at 11 PM Central lastnight and i noticed that non of my contacts (cept for 3 or so) were online. then ppl started talking to me and it said they were offline and i was like "whoah wtc? better restart" so i did and it didnt help. so ya i assumed it was msn so i check the status page and it says MSN experienceing difficulties yada yada yada. now this morning (after going to bed at 3AM) and ya turns out i cant sign in at all anymore.Go Bill Gates with Wave 11 :no: :D :p anyway so i hope it comes on soon :D

Im In Saskatchewan Canada BTW... www.CornerNook.tk aint up either but thats because of a totally different reason.

And why dont they get like a different server for the status page? i mean its stupid... "go check status page to find out more.!" "Error"

I think there server got HACKED. Because this is what the Service Status said

.NET Messenger Service  Sign In

The .NET Messenger Service is temporarily experiencing difficulty up the ass. You may be unable to sign in. Please try again later. We at MSN know that our service sucks but that's because Microsoft owns us

If there are problems then I'm sure they'll be fixed soon. Go out and play.

I reopened this discussion because it was linked from the main page.

Usually we don't talk about minor disruptions at other sites but since this appears to be a major network involved with a global problem, it becomes newsworthy.

    • I think the car analogy is more this: Left hand drive, basic commands on the left side of the infotainment screen. Right hand drive, basic commands on the right side of the infotainment screen. Granted, you're not swapping between the two often so it's doesn't really work. But it's to do with the proximity of you (your mouse, or the driver) to the controls.
    • I mean, the old one was broken and so stupidly complex for many users, so I don't see that as a feasible option. A context menu needs to be simple to use, and for me the Windows 11 style actually worked really well for me, and many others. I used to have to scroll the damn context menu just to get to "file properties" in Windows 10. That was not a good experience, and I'm sure you'd agree. What they're trying to do is make it the best of both worlds, as clearly you'd prefer the Win10 style. I'm curious how they're going to do this.
    • The "Show more options" has its place, as does the simpler context menu, but it should perhaps be a separate fly-out rather than relaunching the entire, old context menu. The old context menu was getting absurd in Windows 10. Often I'd have to make the context menu scroll just to get to "File properties" on my old laptop. Even without much installed, the amount of items was just too much. It's a context menu, not a "do all" menu. Making it configurable is fraught with challenges too, so I'm interested to see how Microsoft tackles this one.
    • I don't hate the new menus, I am not a fan of the lack of features and how they went live when they clearly are not complete. The menu itself presents much better than the previous - but what's lacking (IMO) is: 1) Any kind of automated manipulation such as: "this goes on the new menu because you use this feature more often on this filetype" "this is rarely used and will fall back to the old menu" 2) Any kind of user manipulation such as: "a UI to add/remove/order items to the new menu"
